There needs to be a new function for messages which allows specifying
the verbosity level.

Rather than individual modules having to do:

	if (G_verbose() >= level)
		G_message(...);

they would do e.g.:

	G_message_ex(level, ...);

The new function would check the verbosity level.

The current mechanism is just making the code messy.
