[openbeosnetteam] first attempt at a build script (for logging errors)

Hey all,

following david's request about a build system,
I made a tiny script.
after messing with ruby trying to redirect STDOUT and failing miserably (only the ruby methods were redirected),
I resorted to shell scripts.
basically it only follows what's written in the site, and redirects the output of the make commands including errors to a file for each component.
tested only once, did in 5 minutes.

please, may the shell guru's here perfect it (it's my first useful script)
if you find a better way, don't hesitate to change, it really is the simplest tool i could build.

anyway, check out. don't expect much. it isn't.
ps: if anyone can do it in perl/python/ruby/whatever do it, since it'll help if we want this to be part of a build system.
ps2: this is not tested yet.
ps3: change the second line to your net_kit path.

best regards, Kobi.

#!/bin/sh
net_kit_path="/boot/home/obfs-test/net_kit"
cd $net_kit_path
mkdir buildlog

cd ../libnet/
