Don't show the very verbose $(FIND_SOURCE_FILES) command on every
"make TAGS" invocation. Let's also use the "cmd >x+ && mv x+ x"
pattern here so we don't momentarily clobber the file.

We do not "redirect" ctags and etags output into x+.  

	Let's use "generate into temporary and rename to the final
	after seeing the command that generated the output finished
	successfully" pattern.

Please also correct the explanation of why it is a good idea to use
the pattern in this case.  It is not about avoiding momentarily
clobbering the output.  It is to avoid leaving an incorrect output
generated by a failed command in the file with the filename that
consumers expect.

Thanks for making our Makefile a bit less noisy.  Anybody who makes
"clean" and its friends quiet will get a gold star ;-)

This echo I presume is a debugging aid to be removed?
