I like extreme verbosity too, but some don't  :-)

PMake is supposed to have a .SHELL: pseudo-target that allows one to specify
how to make shell commands "quiet".  If one could figure out how to use that,
it would be trivial to provide a knob for this.

I couldn't make .SHELL work though; consult /usr/src/usr.bin/make/job.c if
you're interested.  I'd like to know how to disable "quiet" commands too...
