This is something to do with RELEASE checking. If I can successfully run
> make CHECK_RELEASE=NO CHECK_RELEASE_NO= -q
The "CHECK_RELEASE_NO=" is necessary, which avoids unconditional execution of an "@echo". So to support --question may require avoiding any unconditional execution (including genVersionHeader.pl).
Do we want to support --question?
As background. FRIB would like to use this in combination with Puppet to decide if an IOC process should be rebuilt/restarted.
