config.status quiet option

[Peter Eisentraut]

configure scripts have a --quiet option, but config.status does not
respect it, so that the configure output is not really "quiet".  Would it
be OK to add a --quiet option to config.status and have configure pass it?

Secondly, if the --quiet option is used, it is saved and used during
config.status --recheck, so there's no way to get back the output except
rerunning configure.  I think it would be more sensible to not save the
--quiet option and only pass it to configure if it was given to
config.status --recheck.  Would this be acceptable?
