Yes, that's a good idea to mention .SILENT.

I really don't want to get into documenting all the different ways that
some makefiles might enable a "debug mode".  I've seen other makefile
systems that use VERBOSE not V, and some that use DEBUG, etc.

I will mention something about checking the makefile to see if it has a
debug setting and maybe mention some common variables to set.
