I don't understand this objection.  The build process for what?

I agree that autoload messages should be made available to the user.
Can't TeXmacs grap the stderr output as well?  They could go in another
buffer, for instance.

The intended use of stderr is for adminstrative messages like this.
It's easy to either (a) combine the two streams or (b) do something
special with the stderr output.
