It seems that MAKE does not work well with SCCS archives. (whenever SCCS
updates the archive, it updates the mod time).  This causes make to think
that EVERY version of a file has been updated, not just the ones most recently
added.  When building files to an old delta level, this causes excessive
compilations etc.

Has anyone noticed/fixed this problem?  I am thinking of doing it my making
MAKE read the archive headers, but wanted to know if anyone else had a better
idea.
