Makefile : cmake_check_build_system

Shouldn't this rather be:
Makefile: <list of CMakeLists.txt, etc>
    cmake_check_build_system
?

...in which case, the only thing that should get checked is if the CMakeLists.txt are newer than the Makefile. So in most cases this should be fast.

We need to run cmake_check_build_system first because make can not handle missing depend .h files.

I'm not saying to stop doing anything that is currently done.

AFAICT, right now the Makefile itself does not have any dependencies; it seems that adding 'Makefile: <build system files>' with the rule from cmake_check_build_system would fix the original problem. So the question is if running cmake_check_build_system twice in a row can either be eliminated or kept reasonable.
