I don't know the answer to your question but just in case you haven't thought
of this workaround to your problem, you should check out the manpage for the
touch program. Using it you can set the modified timestamp of a file to be
what it was prior to editing it. If one had to do it enough I'm sure you
could wrap the editing with a simple shell script.
Or the man page for GNU make (if that is what you are using). The -t option
to that version of make touches files instead of running commands so it
is particularly useful for the problem you describe.
Be advised though that this is very dangerous if you start making changes
that aren't simply comments. :)
I fully agree with this warning. So the pattern should be run "make" to get
everything up to date, edit (only!) comments , then run "make -t" to get
everything up to date again without actually compiling anything.
