./autogen.sh puts stuff on stderr

inside autogen.sh, we call autoreconf -ivf. The -v flag means verbose reports, which are basically just "going to dir x, calling application y" on stderr. This is pretty useless, and for some scripts I'd like to be able to silence the output except for error conditions. Can we simply take out the -v here without bad stuff happening?

ah, hrm. This doesn't help when the dir is clean, because we still get some output. I guess it might not be worth it to track it all down

Added a patch which allows to handle the command line arguments. By default the behavior would be not to be verbose.

Applied; leaving this ticket open until we solve the issue where autogen.sh says stuff when starting with a clean checkout.

Updated the patch so as to have the full verbosity control with '-v'. Nota : it is not a full verbosity output.

Marking this for 0.2.5; it looks probably-good, but we can survive in 0.2.4 with the current behavior.

Oh hey ; this should no longer be in needs_review: we merged all the code we had.

I don't think there's more to do here that we know how to do, and the priority isn't high. Closing as fixed-in-0.2.4.
