Ah. Maybe it should come back?

The original problem is: 'make foo' doesn't work after adding a target 
'foo', because the Makefile needs to be regenerated to know about this 
target. It seems if Makefile depended on the build system files, this 
would cause Makefile to be regenerated, so 'make foo' would work in this 
instance.
