Description

When building, jobs sometimes fail with the error:

RuntimeError : Don't know how to build task 'file name'

Instead, we should hack rake to tell exactly what's happening: the file could not be found.

This kind of error message is used generically throughout rake and it's hard to understand whether the file is missing or the task is not defined.
