Well, I'm not so sure. The make file would print output on success as well as
failure. I'm not willing to make that the default behaviour. Inline is
suppose to be magic, like Perl. You don't get messages when Perl is
compiling. I think I'll continue to write the messages to a file, but dump
the file to the terminal if an error occurs.
