Seconded, because
- the silencing that you have in mind can also be useful for projects that
don't use this particular 'bootstrap' script,
- making the change in gnulib-tool is certainly more reliable that through
post-processing.
When I use --enable-silent-rules, there is not much output that is not like
CC strstr.lo
CCLD libgnu.la
So for me, the status quo in gnulib-tool is quite fine. If you have
different goals, possibly to change *all* Makefile rules to be of this
GEN target
form, feel free to implement a gnulib-tool option
--makefile-verbosity={normal,minimal}
Since the desired output is a matter of taste, I expect that this option
could take additional values in the long run, not only 'normal', 'minimal'.
