reducing verbose dependencies output

[Karl Berry]

Somewhere along the line, automake started outputting an if construct
for every compile, such as:

  if gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I../lib -I../intl 
-DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/local/share/locale\"    -g -MT html.o -MD -MP -MF 
".deps/html.Tpo" \
    -c -o html.o `test -f 'html.c' || echo './'`html.c; \
  then mv ".deps/html.Tpo" ".deps/html.Po"; \
  else rm -f ".deps/html.Tpo"; exit 1; \
  fi

This clutters the real output with the stuff about .deps.

Just as the install commands are faked to show the important command
without all the necessary sh scaffolding, I'd like to suggest that only
the actual compilation command be shown, as in
        @echo " $(compile)"
        @if $(compile); then mv ...; else rm ...; fi

Just a thought.

Thanks,
