TeamCity Integration

[DamianH]

Hi all,

For integrating with build scripts, TeamCity has a feature called
Blocks of Service Messages [0] that allows one to group log messages
as a unit. When using this you get a the current executing task
displayed in the TeamCity UI[1] and the log tree view is collapsible
at each task[2].

psake detects the it's being inside TeamCity by checking for an
environment variable the same way xunit does [3]. Of course, when not
using TeamCity, messages are logged to the console as before.

My changes are viewable on GitHub [4], and I've sent a pull request.
Let me know if there are any problems with it (implementation, style
etc).

Hope it gets included before 4.2 release :)

Cheers,

Damian Hickey

This sounds like a good idea. As lanwin notes, there is a more general need here, for example colourized output. Does someone want to take on the task of looking at a more general logging/output mechanism?
