Please, that's absurd.  It is the _primary_ _purpose_ of Make to
create missing files from existing ones, if not otherwise possible, by
implied rules.

But it is not the purpose of Emacs to magically generate files when I
open them.  It does not run makeinfo when I try opening a non-existing
info file.  And it certainly should not do something like that in a
batch job.
