Yeah, but that would be doing the job of make -- reinventing the wheel,
so to speak. It should be easier to maintain a dependency file for each
unofficial file, and let make figure out what needs to be updated when.
Side thought: Kyle mentioned that dat files should depend on the images
of their subfiles. That would work, but we could also make the dat
files be dependent on the dependency files of their subfiles. :)

I figure that for any mention of a file, it will be as useful to present
it graphically as textually.
Besides, I don't want to start adding type-based processing the parts
tracker. That's too much special code.

Interesting thought. I'll work on that.
