Sure, but the most important information (what type of build error
it was) is basically one row in a database.  So once each logfile
is grepped over, it can be either a) archived off into some dusty
place, or b) deleted.  The former would be preferable, because
the build-error-detector script can always be improved.  However,
I don't think the latter is necessarily bad, compared to the hassle
involved in keeping N old logs around.

Of course some fool could always volunteer to occasionally
burn a complete set of logfiles to CD.

uh oh ...
