Why do we need a new branch for this? As far as I can see, only the  
below lines are really needed

> +dnl Currently, we only (force) enable silent rules if available
> +dnl Verbose mode can be turned on using "--disable-silent-rules"
> +m4_ifdef([AM_SILENT_RULES], [AM_SILENT_RULES([yes])])

Since the above first checks if this is available and then enables it,  
I don't see where this might lead to portability concerns. Even it if  
does, we already provide an option to disable this. So instead of  
creating a new branch, it probably requires just a few lines in the  
UPGRADING file (or equivalent) to mention the changed behavior and  
what can be done if it breaks compilation.

Best regards, Arjen
