Status says failed, but all modules are OK

      We have a number of top-level Hudson maven 2 jobs, each containing several Maven
      2 projects. Building a project will often cause another project in a different
      top-level job to be built (without rebuilding the whole job itself).

      If building this second project fails, then both its status indicator and the
      indicator for its parent top-level job go red to indicate failure (correct).

      But, when the problem is fixed and the module is built again, the top-level
      indicator doesn't go blue again.

      Therefore, over time, we end up with lots of "failed" top-level jobs which, when
      you investigate, turn out to contain only successful child jobs!

      It would be good if a job indicator only showed failure if:

      • The most recent build of the job itself failed, or
      • The most recent build of any child job failed

      Thanks,
