Ah, I have no particular idea about which direction to go here. What

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!
