Yes, in the sense I know it exists! I’ve not used it myself, and I try to stick to blogging about what I know. Perhaps I’ll give it a spin and see how I get on.

As you'll see from the Windows file, I like "quiet" output. One thing that would be nice is a -q option for TeX Live's programs. MiKTeX does that, and means you don't need to redirect to null: you still get any requests for input from TeX. Thanks for the trick Will. As you’ll see from the Windows file, I like “quiet” output.

So <code>@echo "Unpacking files"</code> will only appear once when running the script. Alternatively, you can suppress all lines of output by adding the fake target <code>.SILENT:</code>, but you have to be confident your code words, first :) A trick I’ve recently learned with Makefiles (I’m only just getting into them, like you) is that lines starting with @ will be suppressed in the output.
