The Build output tab is not reused after project change or Sublime Text Restart

It just create a new one, accumulating several ones. This is annoying because happens after the project change or sublime restart.

This looks like the know issue:

• build view is "forgotten" after restarting Sublime

What about close it on sublime plugin load?
Much better than those ghosts hunting the house.

Hmm. I could probably set a flag via view.settings() (so I can distinguish it from actual users' files of the name "Build Output"), any views with the flag set would be closed/cleared. But I don't know if view.settings()q are preserved across editor restarts.

But I don't know if view.settings()q are preserved across editor restarts.

I doubt Sublime preservers the state. Anyways, just closing any tab named Build Output seems fine. Add a option to it on the first moment. Therefore if happens to Sublime Text preserve the state good, otherwise, good also. At least for me.

I fixed it on my fork. I am waiting other pull request being merged before because their code is dependent: evandrocoan@e777e8c

What you have done is what I have expected for a long time. I have tested your commit and it works perfectly!
Just a little note: In the latest version of your commit, one needs to change "buildview.enabled" from false to true or the plugin will not be enabled.
Thanks a lot for your contribution!

I disabled it because I only enable it per project. But when creating a pull request I can check pick all other commits except that one. It was very annoying having the Build output view opening everywhere. I can also enable it per view basis with https://github.com/evandrocoan/QuickSettings

@evandrocoan Another useful package found! Hope that the QuickSettings could be on the Package Control.

I just requested for it to be added: sublimehq/package_control_channel#7337 - Added QuickSettings Package

But I am not sure it will be accepted because I use .no-sublime-package and I not much fan of changing it.
