Ah, I have no particular idea about which direction to go here.  What
would be your recommendation?

yes, that is very annoying.  We don't have a good dependency at the
moment.  We should have one.  I know I had similar problem in the past
and I heared that it would NOT be recommended.  I think that is wrong.
We should have a dependency that make knows about.  That way we can
also have a parallel build (make -jN) -- Axiom just takes too long to
build. 

I'm working in major restructuring of the makefiles.  I have class
today, so unfortunately I won't do much today.

But, please, list your priority about the build machinery.

Thanks!
