I doubt that. To get that checking, you need to tell make what the
dependencies are - it won't automatically assume anything except that
object files depend on their input sources.

In particular, you will *not* get dependencies to header files - in my
experience, those are the biggest source of build problems. If you add
a scanning procedure for finding header files, you can integrate this
into distutils' dependency mechanisms just as well as you can generate
five different makefile formats from those data.

Martin
