Alan, I do not know if this has been asked for, or noted previously.
It would be nice to run commands asynchronously:
[NSThread detachNewThreadSelector:(SEL)aSelector toTarget:(id) aTarget withObject:(id)anArgument]
and that runs the command in the background (with potentially an activities panel). This would be really useful when making large builds directly from TM's interface.
Currently the UI blocks until the command is completed.

Use the HTML output window for this. Commands with HTML output do not block (and can be aborted).
As for the other output options, this will eventually happen, but it requires a fine-grained system for locking buffers, since commands can replace content in a buffer, so for now I just lock the entire app.
