Well he said 1.4.4, but not what he upgraded from... oh, I see. The
nightly used to say 1.4.4 as well, didn't it?

I don't understand this one - what is good or bad about putting an
enter keypress in the event queue?

He is using it to replace text in a file. But he's also sending the
summary that appears on stdout/stderr to his buildlog. I would guess
there's no parsing going on here, just appending useful human-readable
info. I guess it saves having to crawl the WC twice, once for the
include file and once for the build log.

We never made any guarantees about exactly what is displayed in the
output stream, but that's not what he's saying. It's the change from
stdout to stderr (or the otherway around?)
