[erlang-patches] Implement ./otp_build configure --enable-silent-rules

[Björn-Egil Dahlberg]

This would be less of an issue if we didn't put all application eggs in one
repository basket.

I'm probably preaching that sentence to the choir here ..

I've never suggested it should be reverted. I'm merely stating that if it
*could* be sanely implemented in a more maintain friendly way, it should be.
I'll let Anders and Anthony ponder this a bit.
