-v is already in use, as a shorthand for --version.

I added a new "--no-silent" option to disable "-s".

As an aside I removed all the wording in the manual and man page
suggesting that .SILENT was deprecated or shouldn't be used.  In fact,
.SILENT is extremely useful and I have absolutely no plans to remove it
as a feature... and not just because it's required by POSIX.

I also added (I think David B. was hoping for this?) -E as a short alias
for the --eval option.


All of this will be available in the next release of GNU make.
