Anything would work, that resolves the '@' to nothing and puts out the
command, an environment var or a switch.

In older udev releases, before we switched to automake, I had
something like this, which behaves a bit like the Linux kernel build,
and V=1 switches off the silent mode:

V =
ifeq ($(strip $(V)),)
E = @echo
Q = @
else
E = @\#
Q =
endif
export E Q

...

$(E) " CC " $@
$(Q) $(CC) -c $(CFLAGS) $< -o $@

...

Thanks,
Kay

why not just use automake-1.11's silent-rules option. then you dont have to
waste time reinventing the wheel.

Because I consider automake the spawn of Satan? :-)

i'll have you know Satan's wheel is awfully shiny ...

Kay's rules look like they should be fairly straightforward to drop into
e2fsprogs. personally i'd use:
E = @:
when V=1, but this is probably just splitting hairs
