Enhance the DBB User Build Information popup

When a user build finishes, IDz shows a popup window which states:

"DBB User Build is complete for <name-of-the-source-file>

Click Details to see the complete build log."

This information doesn't provide any valuable information to the developer other than that the build finished. I would like to propose the idea of enhancing this view to also show if the build was successful or had an error. In case of an error it would also be nice to be able to see what kind of error occurred.

My understanding is that IDz parses the console output and checks for certain strings (like the build finished message at the end) and acts accordingly. This could be implemented in a similar way.

Right now, the developers have to click Details or check the build log. I believe that it would be best, if an initial result could be seen from the popup. In case of success the developer doesn't have to click on Details at all.
