+- The Makefiles have been modified so that during the build process they no longer
+  display the actual (lengthy) commands, but rather just the name of the file that
+  is being built, as in
+  CC vdr.o
+  The first two characters indicate the kind of operation (CC=compile, LD=link,
+  AR=archive, MO=msgfmt, GT=xgettext, PO=msgmerge, IN=install).
+  This way it is much easier to spot error messages and warnings, since they are not
+  buried under tons of text.
+  Plugin authors should modify their makefiles accordingly, by simply preceeding
+  the respective commands with an '@' and inserting '@echo XX $@' (where XX is one
+  of the character combinations listed above) before the command.
+  The newplugin script has also been modified accordingly.
