Well, *I* care about that, and I won't stand for making the
non-enable-depend case significantly more broken than it is now.
In particular, what you're proposing would mean that "make clean"
followed by rebuild wouldn't be sufficient to update everything
anymore; you'd have to resort to maintainer-clean or "git clean -dfx"
after touching any node definition file, else gen_node_support.pl
would not get re-run. Up with that I will not put.
