Can such information still be questionable according to usual make functionality?

* Do you usually expect that such a source file does not need to be regenerated
  (because it should be up-to-date already according a selected revision)?

* Would you like to trigger the generation of a corresponding source code
  analysis log file (or a “diff”)?

* How do you think about to pass an other parameter to the build target “coccicheck”?
