As long as abreviated display doesn't become the default, this seems
ok to me.  I absolutely abhor builds which don't detail everything
they are doing because then it becomes a bloody nightmare to fix
things if the build doesn't work (which is often the case with such
makefiles).  I do understand that some people prefer to work with
blinders on though.
