Well, no, I'm not missing the point of silent rules completely as I use
them to good effect for just the purpose you've given.  In the case of
Swig we have a harmless group of warnings that are known.  I would just
be silencing *those* warnings so that any others would be obvious in
silent mode at compile time.
