The problem is that V=1 is already too chatty,
so people sometimes hide their stuff - as in this case.

I have for some time thought about adding some option
so we can select between:
- less chatty than today - but print the usefull stuff
- full debug - print almost everything

It is not that this is hard to implment.
But I never have made up my mind how to enable this.

V=1 - could be the "less chatty" mode
V=2 - could be the "full debug mode"

But we already use "V=2" to tell what caused a file to be rebuild.
This is on the other hand very seldomly used so we could get
away with a new way to request this.
So we limit V=n to select between different verbosity levels.

What do you think?

Sam
