Comment (by barry.wardell):

 Replying to [comment:3 eschnett]:
 > I thought about disabling all output from configure and make as well,
 but I now think this is too much. Building an external library may take a
 long time, there may be errors (especially if the compiler or compiler
 flags in Cactus are not configured correctly), and it seems standard in
 other projects as well to show the output of sub-configures and sub makes.

 In that case one can always build with verbose output. Even better would
 be for verbose output to always be redirected to a log file with only the
 simplified output printed to stdout. This is how, e.g., MacPorts works and
 I quite like it.

 Either way, the proposed patch is certainly an improvement on the current
 situation, so I would be in favor of committing it either with or without
 the total silencing of the external library build process.
