Great stuff you are doing :-) Some comments/suggestions

1. Why did you change the output format of the  jhbuild logs? I prefer
the standard logs of jhbuild (see e.g. attached log) as it only uses one
line per module and because of the colors (green/red) and the one line
per module you immediately can see what went well and what didn't.

2. Did you put your autobuild patch in bugzilla so it can get included
in jhbuild CVS?
