Thanks for this idea. Unfortunately this is not possible with the
current log file markup support. Only if a port build has been
successful the patterns from logfile_patterns were used. In cases
building a port fails the markup patterns are taken from
port_fail_patterns. I think it could be possible to highlight the
patterns from logfile_patterns as well but wouldn't this draw off the
attention from the port fail patterns?
