#1154 !echo command does not work in 3.0

[Eric Lawrence]

Create a simple script, e.g.

Name "Bayden SlickRun"
ManifestDPIAware true
!include x64.nsh
!include WinVer.nsh
!echo "EH?"

Compile the script and observe that the ECHO never outputs.

Processing config: c:\src\nsis\nsisconf.nsh
Processing script file: "SlickRun4.nsi" (ACP)

Looking at this further, it appears that the !echo messages only appear at /v4, which means they're buried in the full text of the script, leading to the very awkward workaround of doing

  !verbose push
  !verbose 4
  !echo "Building x64"
  !verbose pop

I'm pretty sure that only the compilers initial verbosity level changed in v3 and all instructions should be the same. I don't have access to a computer right now so I can't really check...
