And I was merely saying that I _am_ ready to change my mind if it makes
sense. Your input is much welcome!

You can still do that if you want:
  Paths and misc options  --->
        Maximum log level to see: (DEBUG)
    [ ] Log to a file

It removes the rotating progress bar [/-\|] and also removes printing
the elapsed time. The build.log file is not created. You can then pipe
the output to whatever you want, the way you are used to would create
the exact same log file.

And what if we'd put a symlink in the build tree that points to the latest
build.log?
