silent rules with automake 1.11

It seems that automake 1.11 made it into unstable and, besides other features, that means silent rules like linux does since quite some time.

AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
m4_ifdef([AM_SILENT_RULES], [AM_SILENT_RULES([yes])])

make[3]: Entering directory `foo'
CXX source1.lo
CXX source2.lo
CCLD lib1.la
