Attached is a patch to change the defaults for Emacs's build procedure to 
generate less output, to help builders and developers focus more easily on the 
diagnostics and warnings that are worth paying attention to.  For the shorter 
output, use 'make V=0' (the new default); for the traditional verbose output, 
use 'make V=1' (the old default).  This sort of thing has been used for some 
time for other GNU utilities, and seems to work fairly well.  I plan to install 
this into the Emacs master after some more testing.
