I'd like to know what other libtool people think about this, so
feedback appreciated.

I think that some people are hypersensitive to seeing build text and that changes to behavior should be well-reasoned and based on the typical user/developer rather than a hypersensitive one. In the USA we call this using "community standards".

The install step is one of the most dangerous things that I do to my system and so I often do 'make -n install' and study what is going on before doing the actual 'make install'. The thought of requesting a silent install has never crossed my mind before.
