Too bad :)

I wrote a little helper script which was supposed to prevent me from posting 
packages that don't build or lint. Then I found out that the lint actually 
doesn't fail on warnings. So now my script is only half as useful (the builder 
does fail on build error).

It would be nice to have a way to also check the lint status.
