It would be fairly trivial to add automatic log generation to that
script on the wiki page.  I usually don't care, but when I want logs
while I'm building I just add "2>&1 | tee make.log" (bash/sh syntax, it
would be different for csh) when I launch the script.  It would be easy
enough to put that inside the script, perhaps with some logic to
generate a log name that includes date and time.
