There are target/fast targets in the makefiles now that run without depend
checking.  They are currently only in the top level makefile, but they should
do what you want.

CMake has to make sure all the depend files exist, because make will fail
if one of them is removed.

There is a wxWindows GUI, but it is not well tested.  ccmake is the standard
"GUI" for UNIX.
