As silent-rules stand now, I am getting:

$ make
 CC  foo.o
 CXX  bar.o
 CXXLD  prog
$ grep CXX_0 Makefile.in
am__v_CXX_0 = @echo " CXX " $@; 

Expected result would have been:

$ make
  CC     foo.o
  CXX    bar.o
  CXXLD  prog
$ grep CXX_0 Makefile.in
am__v_CXX_0 = @echo "  CXX   " $@;

automake.in seems to do it correctly in the initial call:

verbose_var ($name, '@echo "  '. $name . ' ' x (6 - length ($name)) . '" $@;');

but then all the whitespaces are collapsed later on it seems. Well,
in this specific case, they should not be.
