Oh, hmm, all these years playing with this stuff and I never realized 
msys make had these smarts built in, as it apparently does:

    $ cat xx.make
    foo:
             touch foo.exe
    $ make -f xx.make
    touch foo.exe

    $ make -f xx.make
    make: `foo' is up to date.


Sorry for the noise.

cheers
