I do not know how well this fits with other customization variables, but 
I would suggest something like 'OUTPUT_OMIT_TOP_NODE' if there is a plan 
to group output-related variables with an OUTPUT_* prefix, or maybe 
simply 'OMIT_TOP_NODE' if all customization variables implicitly refer 
to the output.

Either way, setting this variable when producing Info output should 
probably raise an error.
