Albrecht, is this what you're looking for? http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/make/Phony-Targets.html I'm pretty sure this feature is specific to GNU, though I believe some other make's have something called ".force" which is the same thing IIRC. (Is there a "standard" make? I think not). In any case, using it should be pretty harmless. It will work as intended if the feature is supported; if not, it will do the right thing unless the user has a file called ".phony" lying around.
