Very nice indeed!  It's quite a leap in usability from the raw logs.

A few thoughts:

* displaying the "Sort by OS" / "Sort by Version" as tabs rather than
columns if possible would avoid showing everything twice.

* occasionally there's a failure due to what look like infrastructure
errors, e.g.
      http://www.recoil.org/~avsm/opam-bulk/logs/local-ubuntu-14.04-ocaml-4.01.0/raw/blahcaml.html
      http://www.recoil.org/~avsm/opam-bulk/logs/local-ubuntu-14.04-ocaml-4.01.0/raw/cmdliner.html
  it'd be good to distinguish these from actual build failures if possible.

* it might be useful to display the revision (perhaps the repository
commit id) somewhere --  perhaps in the URL, If there's a possibility
of keeping multiple log sets around.
