Not *quite* what you're looking for, but i've attached some C code i
found somewhere (the Linux kernel, i think) which acts as a front-end
for gcc and shows much less information about compilation. Instead of
seeing "gcc .... thousand args ..." you see "[CC] filename", and
similar for linking. Just compile this with:

gcc ccdv.c

and replace your CC, CXX, AR make vars like this:

CC := /path/to/ccdv $(CC)
CXX := /path/to/ccdv $(CXX)
...

Of course. it's only useful when gcc is being used, and not for non-C/C++ trees.

(i hope the list accepts attachments - if not, email me off-list and
i'll send it to you.)
