Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Reducing Autotools verbosity

Would anyone object to enabling silent build rules by default in
configure.ac (line 691)? It drastically reduces the amount of output
during compilation. For example

  CC       file.lo

replaces a screen full of text. You would still be able to show verbose
output with "configure --disable-silent-rules" or "make V=1".
