Details:

Most projects use "@" to hide there commands, but when someone tries to debug
or analyze it, he always wants to know what make really do for him. Although
the "-n" argument displays useful information, it is actually a fake run, and
may not always be the same as a real one. As a result, some well designed
projects provide their own mechanism: the linux kernel uses the argument
"V=1", and the android project has the target "showcommands". But, there are
so many projects which do not provide such kind of machenism, such as our
company's :(.

So, why not added an option to override the "@"? I added another options "-V"
/ "--verbose" to do this. It is pretty easy, only 2 files are modified. Do not
know what I should submit, so just attached the modified wholes files.
