Optionaly enable silent build rules, using AM_SILENT_RULES, only if it's supported (requires automake 1.11)<br>

Why do we need a new branch for this? As far as I can see, only the below lines are really needed</blockquote><div><br>
mostly for testing on other systems and non gmake targets, while waiting for systems that have not entered the buildbot ring.<br>and there are some more lines underway... <br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">

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.<font color="#888888"><br>
</font></blockquote><div><br>ATM, this is still theory, and also why I choose this approach. But as told, I'd like to have some proofs before putting it in the trunk.<br><br>this will be part of the remaining things, along with a reference in configure.txt and some more testing around silencing other things (like the copy, python / perl calls, asciidoc, ...) using AM_V_GEN.<br>
this shouldn't last more than a week...<br><br></div></div>cheers,<br>Arnaud<br><br>
