Using synctex can either be decided at compile time using the flag
"-synctex=1" when calling pdflatex, or in the .tex file itself with the
line "\synctex=1" in the preamble. Either option suffices to generate
synctex data, it is not needed to have both.
So in general it is impossible to detect from the .tex file only whether
the user wants to use synctex or not, and when the information is
present in the .tex file (i.e. the line "\synctex=1" is present), it is
actually useless for rubber since synctex data is then automatically
generated by pdflatex anyway.
Hence it seems that it would be best to have a "-synctex=1" flag for
rubber that would just get transferred directly to pdflatex.
NB: to be more precise about the syntax, "pdflatex --help" yields:
[...]
-synctex=NUMBER generate SyncTeX data for previewers if nonzero
[...]
