Do you mean that the AfterBuild-command is executed first,
*and then* the command to build the target file ???

Or was your target file already up to date, so no rebuild action was
needed before the AfterBuild-command was executed ?

I would be very surprised if the *order* was wrong, considering that
the code that gives the current behaviour is:

        ...
        my($status) = &file::_build;
        if ($_[0]->{after_build_func}) {
            ...

where the purpose of "file::_build" is to make a target
"up-to-date". The execution of "AfterBuild stuff" is really *after*
in the code.
