Let me give just one more example, if you could define that a script depends on
another executable target (e.g., build from C++), when I rebuild only the
script, the other executable will be recompiled and linked if it has changed
since the last build as well. This is not possible at the moment without custom
build commands/targets, but often (Shell) scripts are indeed calling other
executables of your package. Then if you just want to test the changes made to
the script, you can simply run “make myscript” and all dependencies will be
updated as well.
