Xen devel - Jan 2009 - [PATCH] Do not print `***'' when compiling unless we fall over

This has finally bugged me enough to do something about it:

make prints `***'' when it stops due to an error.  With make -j, and/or
with automated build systems, this error marker can be in the middle
of a large logfile.  It is useful to be able to search for it.

Therefore change occurrences of `*'' to `#'' for information and
warning
messages.  `***'' is reserved for cases where the build stops.

A corresponding change is being applied to qemu-xen-unstable.

It turns out that the `make'' on our automated testing systems is too
old to cope with $(warning ### something ###) even with quotes, so
here is a revised patch which uses === instead.
