Why are we hiding this?

What do you think would someone like me think when,
after editing a few dozen Config.in files, 'make
menuconfig' wouldn't start any more?

(Just for the record, I actually forgot to comment
out one more 'endmenu', and the error message was
helpful.)

Unix philosophy is to be silent unless something
goes wrong, but I don't know what it says about
e.g. compiler command lines. Besides, isn't this
what we have $(V) for?

(And write >/dev/null, without the space, to
save one byte. We're an embedded OS after all ;)
