Setting CMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE to true in our top level CMakeLists.txt file is 
what we do for our project.  Then if you don't want all the chatter from make, 
you simply add a -s "for silent".  The makefiles this only tell you what it is 
doing "Building YYY.o" or "Linking ZZZ.so" etc..  Setting it up as a cached 
variable will also allow it to be exposed in the configurator (ccmake or what not).

"gmake -s" is your friend.  When you need or want the extra chatter, just remove 
the -s.
