44 Getting a quieter compile out is a great idea.
\r
46 But, you're right that duplicating the command line invocations is a
\r
47 problem. That sets up a fragile system where we'll end up with "make"
\r
48 and "make V=1" actually doing different things.
\r
50 Meanwhile, the feature I've always wanted with systems like this is to
\r
51 document to the user that there's the possibility of adding a "V=1" to
\r
52 the command line to get the full output.
\r
54 Fortunately, I'm sitting next to Chris Wilson right now, and I know that
\r
55 all I need to do is to mention the idea to him, and he'll give us a
\r
56 solution that doesn't duplicate the commands, documents V=1, and will
\r
57 just be a tiny change to our Makefiles.
