Can a makefile decide to rebuild a project if it (the makefile) has

Note, this would probably require make to have a -M option so that
included makefiles are also taken into account.

The way to do this is to have the targets depend on the makefiles.
You are damn right! I should have thought of this:(
I am not familiar with the -M option.
The -M options prints out a rule that says that the input file depends
on all the included files.
You can have a look at chapter 4.14 in the GNU Make manual for more
information about it.
