OK I'll take a look at these.

Tom, what do you think about me sending a pull request for the initial
buildman patches just to get them out of the way? It seems that we
might end up tweaking things a bit more and the original patches
probably won't change:

74aef4b buildman: Allow selection of the number of commits to build
75c313d buildman: Introduce an 'and' operator for board selection
e9f8dc3 buildman: Add a few more toolchain examples to the README
09ec73d buildman: Add a message indicating there are no errors
b6817f5 buildman: Add an option to specify the buildman config file
e752166 buildman: Remove unused non-incremental build method code
07f44ff buildman: Add verbose option to display errors as they happen
1d4e7a2 buildman: Refactor output options
e6eeadc buildman: Sort command line options
90d17a6 buildman: Move BuilderThread code to its own file
285691e buildman: Allow building of current source tree
6ed14ca buildman: Add some notes about moving from MAKEALL
ddb01e7 buildman: Fix a few typos

Regards,
Simon
