Error messages go to stderr and one sometimes parses these to respond to an error.

Excluding it from the default build rules is a good idea. Let the code still be 
around while it works and only when it proofs it no longer does do you drop it. 
Who knows when this will be and if not somebody steps up. If you feel strongly 
about doing something then how about maintaining it?
