I finalized the new (faster) version of make-version.pl. It scans for
directories named CVS and looks for files named Entries herein. It
will only scan the most recent of these files, and define the CVS
version accordingly.

I however did not find a single clue on how to execute code in a
Makefile at every invoke of make.


IIRC, this works.  It may not work for *all* makes, I dunno.

target:
	thing-to-run-everytime

then
	make target
runs the thing-to-run-everytime.  You can also say things like
all: foo bar baz target

and so forth.
