Thanks for the proposal. NAK, on these grounds: - the m4_ifdef() makes the Makefile behaviour dependent on automake version used, hence inconsistent across developer distros. This potentially causes confusion. - it changes policy through the [yes] argument to AM_SILENT_RULES(). This flips the switch for the default without good reason, and that makes debugging harder - this is a policy decision, not mechanism. If the oldest distro we need to support (James? Samuli?) offers "silent-rules" through AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, we should just add it there, but we should not touch the default. Then still anyone can call "make V=0" or ./configure --enable-silent-rules and hide the output details. Or else you can always "make -s". This patch changes all the command line output from Make to something like: CC openvpn.o CC route.o LD openvpn thus hiding compiler options, linker and -I flags and thereabouts.
