jrtangle / jrweave are a literate programming system. In the general
case, multiple files may be generated, and if only one file has changed,
only that file should be updated, so that make doesn't recompile
the world.

That said, there is provision for replacing the default recipe
that uses a temp file to compare with what's on disk; for this case
simply always generating the final output will be fine.

I will try to get to this during the course of this week.

Thanks for pointing out the issue. It's worth fixing.

Arnold

P.S. If you're interested, see http//github.com/arnoldrobins/texiwebjr
for the literate source for jrweave and jrtangle.  The PDF that gets
generated is a combination literate program and user's manual.
