#796 Display error message if wrong target with --target command is selected

[bluehazzard]

As reported here:
forum entry

If you're open to process improvements, perhaps an error could be added to Code::Blocks if the command line --target doesn't match any of the build target names in the project. Currently it displays "Nothing to be done (all items are up-to-date)." which is not the most helpful thing when trying to debug human errors.

The code is there (compilergcc.cpp:2659)

        ExpandTargets(prj, targetName, tlist);

        if (tlist.GetCount() == 0)
            Manager::Get()->GetLogManager()->LogWarning(F(_T("Warning: No target named '%s' in project '%s'. Project will not be built..."), targetName.wx_str(), prj->GetTitle().wx_str()));

Probably the dependencies list (deps) is empty and the loop with the previous code is not executed, I have no time to check this now.

He is probably doing batch building, in that case the message is generated but goes nowhere.
