This would be less work on the Makefile side, but I guess a bit more on the test-lib.sh side. I suppose it might also be an annoyance for some people currently using NOTMUCH_TEST_QUIET in some autobuilder setup. At the moment I can't think of what would really break by changing this "API", but knows. The current behaviour of having NOTMUCH_TEST_QUIET and --verbose completely independent is pretty surprising. d P.S. I hope you appreciate my classic "scope-creep" technique in bikeshedding. ;)
