I somewhat like this idea, though I imagine there are complications.
Perhaps a tool to build a graph of dependencies from a makefile would
be enough?

I am not sure why the earlier conversation on that went sour so fast.
I think something more easily machine-readable than -pnq (e.g.,
dependencies only) sounds valuable, so if you come up with a spec for
that I'd be glad to take a look (maybe to refine it, or maybe to help
implement it).
