I disagree; those logs can be useful.  We just don't need to see
them on the console.

Why not redirect the compile-output from each .ly to the
appropriate .log file?  I mean, we *already* have a .log for each
.ly file... what's in the .log file at the moment?  Why not put
the --verbose output in there?  etc.

GUB does a really nice job of managing ouput information -- it
(generally) doesn't overwhelm you with spam on the console, but
whenever you want to see what the detailed output was at some
step, it's either in the log/ dir (for general GUB stuff) or the
relevant target/architecture/log/ dir.

I'd like to see a similar thing here.  Don't remove output; just
save it to files.
