I am not sure if this is a good change. All these QUIET_$TOOL hide details of running the $TOOL to produce the final output of the step, but they still do report what they are creating via which $TOOL.

Shouldn't the step to create manpage-base-url.xsl be the same? The detail of creating it (i.e. token @@MAN_BASE_URL@@ is replaced with the actual value) may want to be squelched, but shouldn't we still be reporting that we are creating manpage-base-url.xsl file?
