Shows you how long its been since I've done a release build :)

I'd recommend (and have long thought about):

--build-mode={opt,prof,debug,...}

There doesn't need to be only three. They really should be a set so that
you could do "optimized debug" or "profiled debug" or "profiled
optimized", etc. There might also be some other types of builds that
someone would want but I can't think of any right now. Anyhow, this is
in my notes for separating the makefile system to its own project.
