It would be nice and useful to have more build status.
For example, in a two-stage build (the first stage having unit-tests and the second have the very time consuming system tests), when the first stage is completed, for example, an "almost there" state would be be up until the system tests were done (that could take up to 4hours!). If the system tests pass a "Sucess" state appears and, if not, an "system-fail" status appears.

The configuration of the builds, its status, and how to trigger them, should be straight forward.

PS: is there any plug in to do this already?
