One tweak. I think there's a risk that someone would use .WONTCREATE on
specific target deep within some included makefile, and not realize that it
would affect everything.
So I propose that this won't create checking only occur if there is a
.WONTCREATE statement with no dependencies. That way, people will not
accidentally enable it. I think it's a good idea to enable it, but I also want
people to do it on purpose and not by accident.
