After consulting our local autotools Guru and the web our conclusion is that the cost effective way is to remove the dependency file, rerun configure and then make. In this case this means
rm test/.deps/est-epsilon.Po ./configure make This will work for est-epsilon since the .Po is regenerated. However there were more filenames changed so rm -rf tests/.deps/ ./configure make is required and new dependency files are regenerated for files in tests. The above will minimize compile time. 'make distclean' or a new checkout of the source will trigger a complete recompilation of the source.
