Hi,

maybe you heard of shave [1] in the last weeks, which is a small
project that tries to tame the output of autotools and make them
kbuild like.

I toyed around a bit with it and thought I share the patches

- The first patch is more generic and simply uses a separate macro
directory m4/ (which is in anyways probably a good idea).
- The second adds the actual shave support, with default being off
(why: the verbose output is still useful for automated build server
and the like)
- The third one adds --enable-shave to ./autogen.sh arguments, so
anyone checking out tracker from svn (usually devs) will get the new
behaviour.

Let me know what you think. Stupid idea or useful?

Cheers,
Michael
