Re: [rfe] dontcare for prerequisites

Actually, the method you describe here has been used in GNU's automake
tool for quite a while.  I wrote up a description of it and it's at my
web site, referenced below.

This method also uses an already-existing feature of GNU make, which
serves the same purpose as the patch you provided (allowing make to not
fail if the header file is renamed or removed).
