According to the common linux philosophy, mostly status messages like
this are suppressed in other tools unless otherwise instructed.
Therefore, I think that it may be better to suppress these messages by
default and add an option in cmake to enable them when users want
these messages. After all, when cmake runs successfully, these
messages are useless and just make the output look ugly.
This is really modeled after autoconf and its generated configure
scripts. I don't think there is a way to disable the output of a
configure script as it does checks. I think this is very common to
linux users doing builds. Also, the information is useful as it gives a
progress to the user, and something to report to developers when
something goes wrong.
