[bug #51495] Notice when a rule changed, so target needs rebuilding

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #51495 (project make): FYI, an advanced trick to support automatic rebuilding when a rule is changed is explained in the "GNU Make Book" by John Graham-Cumming, Chapter 3. So it's possible to emulate this functionality with some effort in Make's metaprogramming.
