Setting preferenes verbose on upload too much detail

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Set preferences show verbose output during upload
2. upload even a small sketch
3. setting avrdude -v -v -v -v shows every byte transfered including target 
acknowledgement and verify. So much information so that the Window overflows 
loosing earily important information 

What is the expected output? 
avrdude: Recv: . [14]

avrdude done.  Thank you.

What do you see instead?

avrdude done.  Thank you.

What version of the Arduino software are you using? 1.01r2
On what operating system?  Mac OSX Lion
Which Arduino board are you using? Duemilenova.

Please provide any additional information below.

By disconnecting the download target I was able to see the -v -v -v -v (yes 
that's 4) verbose flags to avrdude.

Anyone with the understanding to need level 4 verbosity is able to used command 
line interface so a 3 level is sufficient.

Alternative: Provide multiple check boxes on preferences.

This level of detail is often useful, so I don't think it makes sense to reduce 
it.

I guess I didn't make myself clear.
The real problem is the fact that the level of verbosity being either little or 
massive and the limit on the scroll back buffer made it difficult for me to see 
the real problem. I respectfully reiterate a request to provide multiple 
checkbox for 1,2,3 or 4 levels of verbosity. 
Thank you for your consideration.
