Then what is the point in redefining ECHO depending on -s?

Hmmm... I consider it silly if a port tells me
'YOU CAN BUILD ME WITH THE FOLLOWING OPTIONS' if I just do
a makesum or checksum. Most of the ports save me their
messages, but tell me when something goes wrong. It does not
work with every port, but I would like it if bento
builds with -s by default, that will save us the
repeated option reminders on a lot of ports.

Redefining ECHO_MSG is definetively bad, because it kills
every error message.

My point is: What is broken with the current usage? Why fix
something that is not broken?
