funny, i could say the same exact thing about "quiet" config output.  make 
already has an option to accomplish exactly that: use the --silent option.  i 
dont see why you would ban pretty output in favor of using standard make 
options while at the same exact time you want to change u-boot's make code so 
that it produces pretty output instead of using standard make options that 
already exist.

how are these situations any different ?
