11 That's usually because users sometimes attach only "relevant" parts of build
12 log (well, relevant according to their taste = last lines, even when they use
13 parallel compilation).
14 Any particular example of bug report with entire build log from cmake-utils in
15 fancy mode, and still being unable to locate the problem?

17 I ask, because we're appending summary just after configure phase to make
18 vorbose logging of whole build process unecessary.
