Is there a way to get Make to be silent when it does nothing, but have its 
normal verbosity when something is made?

I want to use Make in a frequent cron job (every 1/2 hour, perhaps 10 
minutes) but I don't want to get a bunch of emails telling me nothing was 
done (which will be most of the time). I just want to know when it found 
something to do.
