Compiler invocation is not echoed in version 1.5

[Andy Helten]

Hello,

I am updating to automake 1.5 when I noticed what is printed to screen
from 'make' has changed.  I previously would run 'make' with the '-s'
flag so that not every step in the compilation was printed to screen.
Simply using '-s' reduced what was printed to screen down to only the
"Making all in ..." and the actual compiler invocation "c++ppc ...".
With automake 1.5, using '-s' eliminates printing of the compiler
invocation (this is bad for me).  When I don't use '-s' I get a bunch of
extraneous information that makes it hard to read and follow, especially
when trying to figure out the path to the file that was compiled (the
`test -f xxx || echo 'xxx'` stuff).

It appears the source of the rules in question (for .cpp.o) is
depend2.am.  It looks like the compiler line is no longer being echoed,
which explains why the '-s' flag eliminates it all together.  I hacked
depend2.am to get the output I wanted.  Is there any other way to do
this via automake flags or otherwise (i.e. a project specific
depend2.am)?  If not, could automake's depend2.am be modified to produce
the more readable output of version 1.4?
