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
- make the default for silent rules disabled, and
- only output the WINE_V_ rules to the Makefile if silent rules are enabled.

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.
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.
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.
