Content-based dependencies

[Yang Zhang]

Is there a way to have GNU make cache copies of source files, so that 
when rules are triggered by timestamp comparisons between targets and 
sources, it will also compare the current source with the cached source 
to make sure that it actually changed before executing the actions (only 
executing if they differ)?
