>Description:
	When doing an incremental ``make build'', many
	subdirectories do not require any actions, so the output
	looks like:
	===> usr.sbin/named/ndc
	===> usr.sbin/named/reload
	===> usr.sbin/named/restart
	===> usr.sbin/named/dig

	If there are screens and screens of such output, it is
	not immediately apparent which stage the build is at:  is
	it doing the make depend, the make includes, the make
	all, or the make install?

	With the patch below, it changes the output to be like:

	includes ===> lib
	includes ===> lib/csu
	includes ===> lib/csu/i386
	...
	depend ===> lib
	depend ===> lib/csu
	depend ===> lib/csu/i386
	...
	all ===> lib
	all ===> lib/csu
	all ===> lib/csu/i386
	...
	install ===> lib
	install ===> lib/csu
	install ===> lib/csu/i386

	This is mostly an appearance thing, so if the Powers That
	Be don't think this is a worthy change, just close the PR.  :)
	But it seems handy to me.

>How-To-Repeat:
	If one is doing make's with UPDATE set, do a make
	build, touch a source file, and then do a make build.
	Notice how difficult it is to see how many more minutes
	it'll take.
