How to fix this output window mess when building?

Question

When building any F# project in VS2010 this is what I see in the output window:

This doesn't happen in C# or C++. Anyone have a solution?

Edit:

After setting build verbosity to minimal this was the result:

------ Build started: Project: test, Configuration: Release x86 ------
        C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft F#\v4.0\fsc.exe -o:obj\x86\Release\test.exe --debug:pdbonly --noframework --define:TRACE --doc:bin\Release\test.XML --optimize+ --platform:x86 -r:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\FSharp\2.0\Runtime\v4.0\FSharp.Core.dll" -r:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETFramework\v4.0\Profile\Client\mscorlib.dll" -r:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETFramework\v4.0\Profile\Client\System.Core.dll" -r:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETFramework\v4.0\Profile\Client\System.dll" -r:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETFramework\v4.0\Profile\Client\System.Numerics.dll" --target:exe --warn:3 --warnaserror:76 --vserrors --LCID:1033 --utf8output --fullpaths --flaterrors "D:\Temp\.NETFramework,Version=v4.0,Profile=Client.AssemblyAttributes.fs" Program.fs 
        test -> D:\F#\test\test\bin\Release\test.exe
========== Build: 1 succeeded or up-to-date, 0 failed, 0 skipped ==========

When setting to quiet, there's no mess. That is a solution, but it's kind of hacky isn't it?

Your MSBuild project build output verbosity VS setting was apparently changed away from its default value of 'Minimal'. If you don't like the more verbose output, changing it back to 'Minimal' is the most appropriate solution.
