openssh unix dev - Apr 2001 - Makefile.in diff against CVS to prevent man/config rebuild every make

Bug: all .out files get rebuilt every make. This is silly, and breaks make 
install if root cannot write to your build dir.

Fix: add dependancy check sop .out files only get rebuilt if the source 
file changes

FixBug: if any source file gets changed, all .out files get rebuilt. This 
is because man pages and config files both get .out extensions but get 
created differently. It's sub-optimal, but still better than what's in
CVS.

So we go from rebuilding every time to building once.  Even if the .out
have files change.  The first is anonying, the latter is unacceptable. =)

Hmm.. It's not a high priority.  Post-2.9 it should be looked at.

Thanks, applied.
