Yes, but automake --silent is a different tool, perhaps it should learn suppress the install mgs as well as other libtool msgs such as relinking as finish msgs? I was refering to AM_SILENT_RULES, which supresses `make all' output; so this is not a very controversial topic, it is already in automake and used by several projects. Would you like to work on this feature? The maintainers can't accept a patch that doesn't exist after all...
