Actually, it goes beyond that.
In the Mandrake RPM Makefile, I have a step that patches the build tree,
in certain key places, just prior to autogen.sh although it COULD be
done as PART of the autogen.sh, or simply exist all the time and be
available to be turned on and off.
Based on a parameter, the patches echo the 'nice' command prior to
compilation, everywhere, and then recursively calls make -s.
In the case of running it as a live change, I could see if I could make
the same behavior available at all times in a custom branch and let you
all take a look if you thought it would be useful.
Do you want me to, and where can I put a custom branch to make this
available for review??

What have you changed to make it print the lines like "LCC subversion/libsvn_subr/xml.c"? Is that just an extra statement something like "echo LCC $<" in the Makefile rule?
