Remind me what the _benefit_ is?
I remember there were several advantages to standard full output, so the
verdict was that *if* they're added, they get disabled by default.
While this patch does respect that, I'd like to know whether there's a
better reason for the added ugliness than "Some folks don't like to see
what's happening"...

Also, I note that you're also making a couple other changes: RM, LN, and
INSTALL...
Last time, Rich said he didn't see a reason to use $(RM), since rm is
POSIX. Same can be said of ln/$(LN).
install appears (per man 1p) to not be POSIX, but is fairly widespread. I
can see this helping with the occasional broken version of install.

Patch 3/3 is the most valuable part of the series, I think.
I can see merging that, and patch 2/3 is trivial.

Umm.... Is this an accident?

Axe this part (see above)

See above.
