Hi Jack, automakers, sorry for the shameful delay.

This patch series (for maint) should take care of the "easy" part of
the bug, i.e., define a make variable that can be used from within the
make recipes to determine whether make is being run in verbose mode
(as with "make V=1") or quiet mode (as with "make V=0").

I will push by tomorrow if there is no objection.

Regards,
  Stefano

Stefano Lattarini (3):
  refactor: &define_verbose_var: accept a third optional argument
  refactor: silent rules handling (a little)
  silent: new $(AM_V_P) variable, tell if we're running in silent mode
