That would be great ... even better, if it could be split in two files (or two 
easily distinguishable parts): one for pkgmk's activity (source extraction, 
package building) and one for the output of the build() function.

And while we're at it: what about including the package name in the log-name? 
Great for recursive builds! (yes, I'm a big fan of those)

Not really a 'wish', just food for thought.

I won't tell you the reason.
After all, I'm not  Per ;-)

But not having dependencies was the prime reason that brought me to CRUX. I 
could imagine having non-binding dependencies (echo "You probably should 
install this and that first"). But that can also be accomplished with a few 
comments in the Pkgfile.

In fact, I would like to encourage everyone to include this information in 
their Pkgfiles, as even experienced people are likely to miss some of the 
optional dependencies.
