But YOU can still disable it by default, by writing your packaging
automation tools to supply --disable-silent-rules as part of calling
./configure, and/or writing an appropriate config.site.  In other words,
the person running ./configure STILL has the option to choose YOUR desired
default, even if it is different than the package author's desired
default.  The use of silent-rules is an option, not a mandate.
