I think some historical (how many of last X builds have failed) is also
useful, but you need something like a build light or dedicated screen that's
unavoidable.

I really like the look of http://integration.playframework.org/, though I'm
not sure what it's backing on to.

I also worked somewhere that had a big-arse strobe light that somebody
manually brought to your desk and plugged in if you *really* screwed the
build. Let's just say that was the last time I checked in a syntax error.
