This would be a great question for [email protected] where the make experts hang out. I know I have seen this question asked there before too but I don't recall and can't find an example at this moment. Sidestepping that for a moment you might find these two references useful: http://www.cmcrossroads.com/ask-mr-make/6795-rebuilding-when-a-files-checksum-changes But perhaps this more directly useful: http://www.phys.psu.edu/~collins/software/latexmk-jcc/ Note that I am not using either of those methods at the moment and so don't have direct first hand experience.
