I think that's too fragile because you could easily have people using -v and getting the --quiet-build=n behavior even though they didn't want it. I think most people would prefer to avoid the --quiet-build=n behavior since, generally, people who want to analyze build output are better served by PORT_LOGDIR. -- Thanks, Zac
