Summary: make setup.py less chatty by default

Initial Comment:
I don't like the amount of output that setup.py
produces by default, and I don't like the way that -q
and -v affect the amount of output.  In general, I want
setup.py to tell me what it is doing and not what it is
skippping.  It's fine to say nothing with -q, but it
shouldn't say more without -v.

The attached patch is a bit of a kludge, but I'm not
familiar enough with distutils to do any better.  One
problem is that -v/--verbose has previously handled as
a flag, either on or off.  (There is a curiously large
amount of code that compares this boolean to see if
it's greater than some number!)  I had the options
processor to treat self.verbose as a count of -v
options.  So -vv is more verbose than -v.

Then I change the specific prints and announcements
that I've seen with setup.py that I didn't want to see.
 The messages I don't want to see (unless verbose is
high) are about skipping builds of Extensions and not
copying files that are already up-to-date.

With this patch in place, setup.py tells me only the
extensions is actually builds and files it actually copies.

Hokay, next question: why the "assert 0" in cmd.py?  Are you
sure you've finished?
