But we already know exactly when an image needs updating! Using make, you
still have to decide when to execute the make command, I'm saying the
obvious time to do it is when a file is submitted (update it's image and all
those which depend on it). You already have all the dependencies, and you
already know when an image needs updating, why do you need make?

OK. I think I've changed my mind about this too - there's no reason *not* to
have images for all parts, and it may (at least occasionally) be useful.
