http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/94746 adds in a new script 'filter-build-webkit'

Once the script works well for you (https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67787), it might be helpful to use it to filter the build output of the build bots to reduce the size of build logs and/or make the build logs more easily readable by others.

Currently, many bots' build logs are truncated (when viewed via the build waterfall page) because they're so long. Some say the full logs are useful, so I'm not proposing to get rid of them. I think that doing either of these two suggestions would be very helpful and easy to implement:

1) Change the build log output page to have the output of filter-build-webkit and a link to a separate page with the full output (i.e. the current page you see).
2) Modify the current build log output page to have the output of filter-build-webkit prepended to the current full (but often truncated) build log.

For quick reference:
Running 'build-webkit | filter-build-webkit --logfile FULL_LOG' will spit the output of build-webkit into FULL_LOG and the filtered output to stdout. Or you can add '-o FILTERED_LOG' to get the filtered output directly to a file.
