CWS-TOOLING: integrate CWS buildverbosity

2009-10-13 15:51:48 +0200 fs  r276867 : allow building with 'nodep'==''
2009-10-11 22:39:56 +0200 fs  r276820 : silence a compiler warning in a file only used when VERBOSE!=""
2009-10-09 14:37:43 +0200 fs  r276807 : let not override the non-presence of $VERBOSE the given command line arguments
2009-10-09 14:36:25 +0200 fs  r276806 : also deliver spirit/home/classic/debug/impl
2009-10-08 13:38:07 +0200 fs  r276789 : not that many line feeds in --show mode
2009-10-08 13:13:01 +0200 fs  r276788 : minor adjustments requested by hjs:
- replaced space/tab mixes at beginning of lines with mere tab
- made "nothing to update" message for the ZIPALLTARGET target more prominent
- removed useless "echo > /dev/nul" statements
2009-10-07 13:32:12 +0200 fs  r276753 : #i105585#
2009-10-07 11:31:59 +0200 fs  r276742 : #i10000# missing dependency between stoc/security and stoc/util
2009-10-06 22:59:59 +0200 fs  r276729 : CWS-TOOLING: rebase CWS buildverbosity to trunk@276699 (milestone: DEV300:m61)
2009-09-29 12:04:58 +0200 fs  r276518 : #i10000#
2009-09-29 12:04:25 +0200 fs  r276517 : oops
2009-09-29 12:01:07 +0200 fs  r276516 : #i84497# removed some more (non-diagnostic) 'echo ------' directives
2009-09-29 11:59:29 +0200 fs  r276515 : #i84497# removed some more (non-diagnostic) 'echo ------' directives
2009-09-29 11:52:32 +0200 fs  r276514 : #i84497# removed the various 'echo ------------' directives from verbose mode, as per hjs' request
2009-09-29 11:44:16 +0200 fs  r276513 : do not duplicate IDLC call commands with different verbosity switches
2009-09-28 21:43:50 +0200 thb  r276502 : #i84497# fixed potential recursive macro def + extra ls
 * solenv/inc/settings.mk: now setting via VERBOSE!:=, removes warning
   and my spurious "recursive macro definition" error
 * solenv/inc/tg_app.mk: one extra ls silenced for app target (and 
   quiet mode, that goes without saying)
2009-09-23 08:57:01 +0200 fs  r276366 : use ULFEX_VERBOSITY instead of duplicating the ULFEX call
2009-09-21 11:42:26 +0200 fs  r276320 : ignore output paths
2009-09-21 11:04:27 +0200 fs  r276318 : silence another compiler warning, which only hits us when actually using this (debug) file, which is the case only when slideshow is compiled with a env variable VERBOSE, thus came up in CWS buildverbosity
2009-09-21 10:30:14 +0200 fs  r276313 : make some output depend on VERBOSE==TRUE, not COMMAND_ECHO=""
While both are equivalent at the moment, COMMAND_ECHO finally is an implementation
default of the VERBOSE flag only, so better rely on VERBOSE as the primary verbosity flag
2009-09-21 09:56:57 +0200 fs  r276311 : forgot to re-generate from tg_zip before committing
2009-09-21 09:52:11 +0200 fs  r276310 : #i84497# even less verbosity
2009-09-17 11:02:47 +0200 fs  r276232 : #i84497# verbose implies VERBOSE nowadays, and VERBOSE==FALSE should not lead to -DVERBOSE
2009-09-15 22:59:37 +0200 fs  r276189 : #i105022# copy fix for this P1 into this CWS
2009-09-15 11:56:35 +0200 fs  r276165 : CWS-TOOLING: rebase CWS buildverbosity to trunk@276043 (milestone: DEV300:m58)
2009-09-14 17:45:10 +0200 fs  r276137 : #i84497# don't duplicate zip lines w/ and w/o -q switch, use a variable instead (maintenance)
2009-09-14 15:01:33 +0200 fs  r276124 : #i10000#
2009-09-11 23:58:46 +0200 thb  r276083 : #i84497#: More quiet-build fine tuning
 - silenced rsc for real (properly filtering options for 
   cpp, and a pretty brutal amputation of the tool blurp,
   which would have needed cmd opt parser duplication)
 - silenced deliver.pl
 - silenced checkdll.sh
 - silenced zip via -q (in quiet mode)
 - silenced various idl, resource, transex whatever tool,
   passing appropriate options down to them '-QQ' sometimes
 - silenced dmake, pointless blurb that something does *not*
   need update removed
 - silenced the old starview idl compiler, to not output
   tool's name & progress chars in quiet mode
2009-09-11 21:13:59 +0200 thb  r276081 : #i84497#: More bits on the quiet mode of the build.
The bulk of the changes is disabling those annoying 
"echo ------------------" lines for the quiet build,
which has the stretch goal of outputting *exactly*
one line per file compiled/linked/processed.
Apart from that, silenced a few especialy annoying
module-specific makefiles (basically adding 
$(COMMAND_ECHO) in front of a gazillion rules).
Additionally, slightly tweaked what idlc regards
verbose, normal, and quiet mode; this was to have it
echo exactly one line per idl file processed (the
fact that quiet mode did not echo *anything* for idl
files was a bit too much for my taste) 
2009-09-04 09:14:35 +0200 fs  r275777 : don't emit the link parameters if VERBOSE!=TRUE
2009-09-02 10:31:15 +0200 fs  r275700 : #i10000#

2009-09-02 08:40:54 +0200 fs  r275695 : #i84497# less verbose output during build, unless a dedicated '-verbose' switch is given
2009-09-02 08:40:28 +0200 fs  r275694 : GRAPHITE is missing in the BUILD_TYPE
