gmake has a -q/--question flag that will determine if a rebuild is
necessary but not perform it. pmake does not have a similar behavior. I
propose we adopt the --question flag with the following behavior:

If any output files would be rebuilt return 1, else return 0.

This covers all use cases that come to my mind. It also avoids
overloading the return value heavily.
