RE: --no-silent --no-quiet style option

[jgrant]

Hello,

Yes, I am aware it is on the man page, however I was thinking of something
like

 -s, --silent, --quiet       Don't echo commands. Equivalent to .SILENT rule

in the make --help.

How do you feel about adding a --no-silent, --no-quiet option to overrule
all .SILENT and @ commands in a Makefile?  I can take a look at writing this
patch, if it will be accepted.

Regards

Jonathan
