I knew that stuff (Nicolas Aguirre showed me the link) but didn't look 
into it in details.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but just after your mail, a guy 
posted the link in the automake ML. The answer is : it exists in the new 
automake 1.11. Then it easy to set it up (i've just tried and it works). 
The problem is that i don't know yet how I can add it without breaking 
configuration with automake < 1.11.

As a developper, i usally prefer having the whole compile line. But for a 
user, it might be interesting. That kind of output can also help in 
finding warnings, but I usually use emacs to compile and the warnings 
appear in red. I think that vi also have that feature.

If I can find how to add it without breaking the current configuration 
with automake < 1.11, I can add that feature to the EFL. Otherwise I 
prefer not add it.

For those who want to try:

1) install automake 1.11

2) run in the project top level directory:

make maintainer-clean

3) add in configure.ac, just after AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE:

AM_SILENT_RULES

4) run:

./autogen.sh --enable-silent-rules

5) then 'make' and see the result :-)
