When the RC compiler is executed on Windows, has it always output the verbose banner message? This makes the Ninja output much less nice because it no longer re-uses the same line for each task’s one-liner comment/message. I think there have been a couple of changes to this area in recent months, but I’m not familiar with the latest on this. Anyone know off-hand if the behavior of this has changed? I’m talking about messages like this:
```auto
[68/308] Building RC object src\quick\CMakeFiles\qtquick2plugin_rc.dir\qtquick2plugin_resource.rc.res
Microsoft (R) Windows (R) Resource Compiler Version 10.0.10011.16384

Passing /nologo to rc suppresses this message.

AFAIK, yes. See also [this thread](https://discourse.cmake.org/t/3137) on `-nologo`.

Yeah as part of our MSVC toolchains we pass /nologo to the RC compiler to avoid this issue.

Ah thanks @brad.king, I’d forgotten about that discussion thread. Yes, would be great to see a contribution by someone to fix that and add `-no-logo` if the RC tool supports it (any volunteers? 😉).
