This makes a few minor improvements to buildman to make it work more easiler
for first-time users:

- Improve progress and warning messages when fetching toolchains
- Fix a bug where toolchain paths can be overwritten when fetching
- Note at the top of the help how to get started

Also this series removes MAKEALL. Since buildman has been around for 3 years
it may be time to do this. If not, we can leave it for now.

Sounds great:-)

BTW, one problem I've come across with buildman recently is that it re-orders warnings/errors from the compiler. In particular, it seems to separate what it thinks are warning from errors (perhaps stdout/stderr split??) but I'm not sure it always gets it right, and I think elides duplicate lines when doing so. When running buildman repeatedly while doing development, and experiencing a compile error, this makes it extremely difficult to interpret some of the compiler's multi-line messages. Is it possible to have an option that turns off all the output processing, and just shows stderr/out mixed up as they would appear "interactively" when manually invoked from a shell, with no post-processing? Occasionally I have to fall back to a manual "make" invocation due to this.
