I think what I'm after is something like Pharo's headless UIManager,
actually. The ReleaseSqueakTrunk build is hanging right now and
there's no indication why. If I run the build script locally I can
remove the -vm-display-null stuff and see the "Cleaning packages"
progress bar, and so on. If I could hook into _that_, things would
become a whole lot easier to debug. That, and having a script fail and
log to stdout instead of bringing up a Debugger.
I think I'll add that to the 4.5 wish list!
