It's a while since I worked on VPB so I can't recall all the ins and outs, but I don't recall adding an option not to generate the log files. The log files are there to help with diagnosing problem builds - such as when network or disk problems occur. With a distributed build running on many machines with terrabyte databases the diagnostics can be a critical. Have a look at the source code to VPB, if there isn't a toggle for controlling the output of the log files feel free to add one. It'd need command line support as well as support in the configuration files.
