Subject: [PATCH 2/2] tools/ocaml: Default to useful build output

While hiding details of build output looks pretty to some, defaulting to
doing so deviates from the rest of Xen.  Switch the OCAML tools to match
everything else.

Time for a bit of controversy.

Presently the OCAML tools build mismatches the rest of the Xen build.
My choice is to default to verbose output.  While some may like beauty
in their build output, function is far more important.

If someone wants to take on the task of making Xen's build output
consistently beatiful, invite them to do so.  Then call the police and
tell them you're being robbed.
