Rebuilding with modified Tupfiles is not a problem, and will only build
what is necessary.  But:

  Tup doesn't support generating the Tupfiles themselves from other
  programs. If you do that, you would need to run a separate program to
  generate them before running 'tup upd'. I would hope that tup is
  expressive enough that you don't feel the need to generate the
  Tupfiles, though.

Maybe this will change, preferably by coming up with a clean way to
express the dependency.
