no.  I've done several flavors of this, but don't think any of them would
be satisfactory for this purpose.  If you must do incremental builds, it's
ok to use "make depend".

I always start builds from source (even for XFree86, which has 30 times as
much) because it reduces problems.  Putting a make clean in the makefiles
would, by the way, get in the way of debugging build problems.
