Mail would work for singe Workstations but for several servers this would 
end up in getting serveral mails with the same messages. And the risk of
losing some important information would grow with the number of Mails. 

Much simpler. Collect all pkg-msg in a tmp file an display this tempfile 
with ${PAGER} at the end of the make command.
