Sometimes you want to know what `brew cleanup` will do before it
actually removes anything. Introduce a '-n' option (chosen to match
other UNIX tools) to do this.

Per mxcl/homebrew@6b0c44d, @mxcl:
"And in that mind, brew missing is some cases an essential tool and
should absolutely be in the manpage."

The documentation on this is hard to find, and awareness of the command
itself is pretty low. Which is too bad, because it's really handy and I
use it all the time myself.

While updating the bash completion script, I encountered some options
that were previously undocumented.
I purposely did not document the --macports and --fink flags for `brew
create`, because the exact same functionality exists in `brew search`.
Perhaps we should remove it from create.

It was extraneous, and useful only for maintainers and contributors. It
is currently documented on the External Commands page of the wiki.

In addition to a brief overview of what external commands are, add a
link to the wiki page where the real documentation resides.

`brew options --installed` will print options for formulae that are
already installed.

Document the '--versions' option for `brew list`.
The two forms of the `list` command as previously documented clearly do
different things, but after documenting '--versions', their functions do
overlap a bit, so we combine them and clarify the different invocations.

- Remove unnecessary linefeeds above "ENVIRONMENT"
- Use the word "example" rather than "sample" to be more consistent
throughout the documentation

Let an environment variable, HOMEBREW_MAKE_JOBS, override the default
'-j<cores>' make flag.
Now we can more easily debug formula that normally build in parallel, or
(potentially) speed up lengthy builds.
If a formula is given, it will be checked for missing deps.
The formula does not have to be installed first.
Without a formula list, still checks all installed brews.
Be more useful by being more concise. I referenced dozens of other mature commands’ usage to figure out what to do here.
Also separated out the help into its own command for consistency.
This allows you to use llvm as your default compiler and keep the cc symlink
pointed at llvm, while allowing you to build forumla that requires the gcc.

Add a new mode "brew audit --warn" that performs stricter checks
that might not need to be fixed.
Currently this includes a check for using tabs instead of spaces
for indentation; Homebrew style is "2-space indentation."
Documented this new switch.
