   1) simply write whatever you want to stdout, so you can see it
   in the build log.

I'll do that if there is no other way.

   2) Have a look at what emacs/release.nix does in its coverage
   job.  Specifically, the part where stuff is added to

     $out/nix-support/hydra-build-products

   These files then become downloadable from the build page.
   Eg http://hydra.nixos.org/build/17636523
     "Files test-logs.tar of type test-logs".

   (The only thing I'm not sure of is, if your job actually fails,
   it may not get as far as creating this file.)

It's worth a try.  Currently, when "make check" fails, there is
only a link (behind text "Failed build produced output. Click here
to inspect the output") to a ‘ls -lR’ of files and no link to the
individual files.

Thanks for the suggestions.
