    Description

      jom should support the feature known from gnu make to allow Makefiles to refresh themselves, following this algorithm:

      start:
         read Makefile
         if there is a target matching the current Makefile:
            if it is outdated:
               execute commands
               goto start
         rest of makefile processing ...  
      

      note that this is literally the algorithm: if the commands don't actually update the makefile, gmake goes into a loop. this is potentially useful, so i wouldn't bother limiting it.
