FYI, this could be compressed:
(configurelogfile,makelogfile,installlogfile): New.

And this:
(conf,build,check,install): Add logging.

Looks good otherwise.
Thanks for the patch and for putting up with me. :-)
As I said in my reply to Lapo, I'd rather have as few files in /usr/src as
possible -- once they are in the package-specific source directory, the
maintainers can do whatever they want. So, would it make sense to add a
step that would uncompress the log files into the source directory (say,
in the prep() step)? You can put them in the package root, or create a
"logs" subdirectory -- the structure is up to you. I'd also include a
"NOLOGS" variable (or some other mechanism to turn off the logging for
those maintainers who don't want it).
I don't mean to be nitpicking here, but if we're doing this, let's do this
right. I'd like to hear from people on what they feel is "right" in this
case.
Igor
