Sorry to interrupt, but the main reason I find in receiving a mail upon build completion is when the building process is launched in an automated manner (cron or similar). But then, why not using a continuus integration tool like AntHill ? It does launch build (schedule or on request) and sends a mail (with a link to the log file) upon completion (failure or success). If you want it to build on your local copy (and not the one on your VCS), you can tell anthill to retrieve the source from a local directory (really local or mounted). I'm sure Anthill's competitors can also do the same. (Search anthill in this mail list)
Or I have missed something ?
