Now that I finally got around to getting a castfs testbed going I see that
the current behaviour that has does add a "realtime" mode for the install
log info. And "on cast error" probably does make sense for installs that
fail partway through.

So I'd say my vote is for the above kind of multi-select box, either one
each for compile and install logs, or a single one for both.
