Linux-kernel style output

[Tommie Gannert]

Hi all!

I know it's been an ongoing discussion now and then, but I would like
to raise it again.

I've been diving into Automake to try and make it less noisy. My solution
is a patch which adds --enable-pretty-commands to configure. Hopefully, the
standard behavior is the same as before. I haven't tested it all fully yet,
just
tried it against the Heimdal package, and it seemed to work.

The patch is to 1.9.6. It's 70 kB, so I'll just link it.

Patch at
http://kim.tensta.gannert.se/projects/pretty-am/files/automake-1.9.6-pretty-cmd-1.0.patch.
More information on http://kim.tensta.gannert.se/projects/pretty-am/.

This is something like a Request For Comments. Is this good, or is it just
cluttering up the Automake sources to no use?
