What is needed is some dependency specification mechanism.
In theory, it should be fairly trivial to make an SGML equivalent
of mkdepend(1) based on SP, but like so many other useful tools,
it remains vaporware.

In the meantime, some manual method of specifying dependencies
would be handy.  Essentially everything depends on includes.sgml
so that could be a special case...

As should be evident from "web.mk", I'm far from an expert when
it comes to complex makefiles; the build procedure leaves a lot
to be desired!
