AW: problems with make...

[corey taylor]

I thought he was relinking.  I was expecting that behavior.

He said that he wanted it to rebuild the source, which is what I
didn't understand.

I use Qt's make system and it works rather well.  I'm fairly certain
however that it has no special rules for binary dependencies.  I will
take another look.
