AW: Prevent libtool-output

[Roesner Thomas]

Dear Ralf,

it is because we cant see the useful information in on the first sight. The 
first Project has nearly 600 files of sourcecode, the second about 1000. There 
are some moments, we want/need to compile via console, not an ide.

Is there no m4 Macro or something like this used to create the according entry 
in the Makefile?

Kind Regards,
Thomas

Why?

Currently >/dev/null is the best bet.  Implementing --quiet --quiet
(which will then be _really_ quiet) is on our TODO list.  If you have a
working patch, send mail to the libtool-patches list.  :-)
