Subject: [PATCH] Enable silent build rules by default if available.

Automake's silent rules report commands as (e.g.,)

  CC facetopology.lo

which is a lot easier to read than the more verbose default output.
Enable this report mode, but only if we're being processed by an
Automake implementation that offers this particular capability.
