>Description:
I'm a happy user of automake/libtool, but I have one little problem. I believe that you get too much noise during the make stage. The problem is the huge command lines which are echoed when using libtool commands, which display too much irrelevant information and makes the output basically useless for inspection by eye.

To deal with this, I have a small perl script which tells libtool to be quiet and also puts an @ in front of the compile commands in Makefile.in to avoid echoing and instead echoes a short descriptive comment of what is going on. By setting a flag one can retain the standard behavior.

As I think this is something more users would like, I therefore ask you if it would be possible to include something like this in automake itself.
