Interrupting and resuming the "Building" phase?

[Markus Weissmann]

You can also press "Ctrl-Z" which will put port (or any other process)
to halt. Resuming works via `fg' (foreground) which will revive the
backgrounded program.

This is a feature of the shell - so don't close the one that port is
attached to.
