Comment (by jhpalmieri):

 Of course, just getting rid of !MoinMoin (#12713) will cut down
 considerably on the size of the log file...

 We could also add some more environment variables (:p) to control the
 output from the make process: what gets written to install.log, what gets
 written to the screen, etc. If we took my patch and interchanged various
 roles, writing just a little information to the screen and (optionally)
 writing more in install.log, there would be times when the installation
 might look stalled, especially with ATLAS or gcc. I guess we could write
 {{{
     PKG: installing. Please wait; installation has not stalled. Log file:
 ....
 }}}
 but the current level of feedback might be better.
