I suggest you make it possible not to operate in --make mode.  A build
system usually wants to know which targets will be built by a command,
but --make makes this hard.  This is a significant problem in the java
world (where javac always works in something like --make mode).  Yes,
you can blame it on dumb build tools, but the problem exists.

Also, processing only one file is desirable for quick compile tests.
