currently the build status is mentioned, via the bot soup, in IRC and 
there are a number of different sized status windows that the tinderbox 
offers including non-browser ones.

I'm having trouble seeing why checking email or IRC for a status update 
is any worse/better/different than checking email - the *only* thing I 
can see so far is that email is targeted and that will be the case only 
for a single commit change.  It wouldn't be the case if, during a busy 
day, 5 or 6 people have updated the source.
