[fpc-devel] Less comprehensive progress output for fpmake

[Darius Blaszyk]

I have created a patch for fpmake that hides some of the raw compiler
output. The new output looks more like scons and is actually more clear
imho. You can however still get full output by passing the -v option to
fpmake.

Output with patch applied will be:

>./fpmake
       Compiling test.pp
       Linking test
[ 50%] Built target target1
       Compiling test.pp
       Linking test
[100%] Built target target2
Done

instead of:

>./fpmake
