Just as a vaguely related point that doesn't actually have a lot to do with this --- there's one place where I quite like the verbosity: sometimes I build from the archive on a machine that doesn't have autoconf, and I run autoconf on a machine with access to the same disk. After running configure on the build machine, I have to make some timestamp file on the other machine to get he headers sorted out (only the first time after configure.ac changed). So it's useful to see what that is. However, I have a feeling I end up digging in the Makefile anyway. There may be a better solution to this. pws
