Then, here's a `defcustom' version:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defvar my-message-silent-p nil)

(defadvice message (around shut-up (&rest args) activate)
  (if my-message-silent-p
      (setq ad-return-value (apply 'format args))
    ad-do-it))

(defadvice write-region (before shut-up activate)
  (if my-message-silent-p
      (ad-set-arg 4 'silent)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Set (or bind using `let') `my-message-silent-p' to a non-nil
value when you don't want Emacs to issue messages.
