Well, the target does have a prerequisite. I want the Makefile to check
for the existence of the prerequisite and output a message if it's not
there. It's just that this prerequisite is always newer than its
targets.
I've read the Gnu Make documentation on order-only prerequisites, but
there wasn't enough there for me to understand how they work. Also, the
fact that they aren't supported on older versions probably rules out
that as a solution for me.
