That's a nice idea. I also think it is sensible to avoid overwriting
the download log with the build log. So in summary, we have:


    A) Move the installation markers into a sub folder:

            usr/installed-PKG  ->  usr/installed/PKG

    B) Move the log files into a separate folder and add a timestamp:

            usr/log-PKG        ->  log/`date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S`-PKG

    C) Keep the download logs:

            log/`date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S`-PKG-download

    C) Add a symlink to the latest logfile:

            ln -s LATESTTIMESTAMP-PKG[-download] log/PKG[-download]

    D) Unpack archives quietly:

            tar xv  ->  tar x
            unzip   ->  unzip -q


I just implemented it. Please try it and tell me how it works for you.
