This would be any target which does not have some form of conditional
execution. There are three forms of conditional execution:
1) Explicit condition via "if=" for the target.
2) Implicit condition built into the task
3) Dependencies
I think that the biggest conceptual hurdle here is how and whether (2) can be
propogated to (3) so that, for instance, a target which contains only a javac task
does not trigger execution of targets which depend on it unless it compiled at least
one class.

I certainly hope not.
