+  * config/none.cf
+  * config/lib.cf
+  * config/bin.cf
+  * config/dir.cf
+  * config/dirsh.cf
+    + Added $(MKFLAGS) to all internal $(MK) calls.
+    + Initializing $(MKFLAGS) to --no-print-directory, which
+      suppresses "Entering directory"/"Leaving directory" GNU
+      Make messages. They can be useful for debugging, but for
+      normal operation IMO they just add up to unnecessary
+      clutter. Please tell if you think otherwise.
+      Despite docs say it's enabled when using -C (change dir)
+      option, I've only seen it enabled on win/dos platforms,
+      so for other platforms (at least *nixes) this won't change
+      behavior.
+    + Added '@' prefix for $(MK) calls, so recursive GNU Make
+      invocations won't be shown anymore on screen.
+      Again, please tell if this isn't good, I'll also evaluate
+      things this way and see whether to keep it. For sure on
+      *nixes the GNU Make output is extremely short and clean
+      now for a simple incremental make session. Sometimes though
+      it's useful information when someone posts a log snippet.
+    * Indentation.
+
+  * config/dirsh.cf
+    * Little consistency fix: Using $(MK) instead of $(MAKE).
+      They are the same at this point.
+
+  * config/global.cf
+    + Shows $(MAKE) value as part of the configuration.
+
+  * config/test.cf
+    * Small change in wording: 'ignored' -> 'skipped'
+

   * harbour/source/rtl/fstemp.c
     * enabled mkstemps() in *BSD and Darwin builds
