Good idea, but I'd rather set verbose output by default and document VERBOSE_BUILD=0 in install.itely. Verbose output is preferable by default, as you don't have to rerun with VERBOSE_BUILD in case there's a problem, e.g. errors in ly files happen frequently, and it can be a lot easier to debug them when lilypond runs with --verbose. Are you going to add this to makefiles? I can do it if you like.
