The subject line of this patch may be a little misleading, upon reflection, since it's enabled by default. That fact could easily be changed; I only did so since automake also enables its silent output by default.
FWIW, when I attempted a similar patch last September, I got pushback from Alexandre due to him not considering nested macro expansion as portable. I also got pushback against enabling by default. It seems that the conservative approach would be to 1. make the default for silent rules disabled, and 2. only output the WINE_V_ rules to the Makefile if silent rules are enabled.

Note that you can also enable fully silent build by defining a .SILENT: rule, in a wrapper Makefile for instance. I'm personally not really sure how useful a semi-silent build is. -- Rémi Bernon <rbernon(a)codeweavers.com>

Unfortunate. I would have appreciated a patch like this, as it helps me gauge build progress, but if there's no way to do it portably then I'll just drop it.

In addition, with partial builds, this makes it easier to see at a glance what actually built. While some don't care for them, there is definitely value in quieter builds. When I tried last year, I just decided to let it lie. Coming back to it though, I really would like to see some form of this get accepted. I do have ideas on how to mold it into something acceptable, though there are a couple of details I haven't worked out.
