+ * remake.c (update_file): If you have large numbers of
+ dependencies and you run in parallel, make can spend considerable

+ not in the middle, if a branch has been seen already in that pass
+ nothing interesting can happen until the next pass. So, we toggle
+ a bit saying whether we've seen this target in this pass or not.

+ 1, since all targets initialize their boolean to 0. At the end of
