The top row of the buildbot page shows the results of the last complete
build.  In this case that's build #8, which had a compilation failure.
When it finishes build #9 (in about 5 hours) it should display a warning
about the menagerie test failure.


It might be more useful to separate the "status" output from the "log"
output.  For example, we could have something like

Status:

Host           Test          Current status    Last Status

FreeBSD 5.3    Update SVN    Good              Good
               autogen.sh    Good              Good
               compile       Good              Failure
               test          Good              --
Solaris 8      Update SVN    Good              Good
               autogen.sh    Good              Good
               compile       Good              Good
               test          Good              Failure

Log:

Date                Host            Description

2004-12-20 09:38    Windows 2000    Compile started
2004-12-20 09:51    Solaris 8       SVN update started
2004-12-20 09:53    Solaris 8       SVN update complete (Good)
2004-12-20 09:53    Solaris 8       Compile started
2004-12-20 10:22    Windows 2000    Compile complte (Failure)


This would require adding this functionality to Buildbot, which I don't
have time to do.
