Personally, I would appreciate it if we could get of the bootstrap
target altogether, and when Emacs chose to do a bootstrap on "make"
whenever things could require it.
Similar with the "clean" target. Having special targets that will _not_
bootstrap even when it _could_ be necessary in order to make debugging
faster/easier is nice.
But I think without extra measures, it would be nice if "make" did
everything that might be required. The combination of "recompile" and
"cvs-update" and "bootstrap" and "whatever-clean" in what ever
directories that one has to try whenever something looks like not
working:
That is not really the idea behind using make.
