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...
