Yes, that's a good idea to mention .SILENT. I really don't want to get into documenting all the different ways that some makefiles might enable a "debug mode". I've seen other makefile systems that use VERBOSE not V, and some that use DEBUG, etc. I will mention something about checking the makefile to see if it has a debug setting and maybe mention some common variables to set. -- Paul D.
