No need to apologize - let me try to explain what we're doing:
the makefile being executed with -j4 has about 5000 final targets. The
list of targets and dependencies is being generated then included upon
which we have a re-execute of the make.
Dependency-wise, a single target looks like this:
<target>.data, <target>.xml
v v
v v
v v
<target>.html, <target>.text v
v v
v v
v v
<target>.email
v
v
send email
It's a little difficult to depict here, but the dependency graph is
really quite simple. And no recursive makes.
