New description:

 ... or replace the pyflakes step (since {{{make code-checks}}} runs
 pyflakes among other things).

 This requires ensuring that {{{make code-checks}}} returns a correct exit
 code and does not have too many false-positives.

Comment (by warner):

 Let's also make sure the output is not too noisy. Ideally each program it
 runs would emit no output for success. The "build" make-dependency dumps
 an awful lot of output, every time, and a bunch of the tools announce each
 module they're checking, which is a drag.

 A buildstep which knew how to parse out the actual problems could help.
