On a few of our projects, we made added a "refresh" target that did:

- rm -fv $(BUILD_DIR)/.root $(BUILD_DIR)/*/.stamp_target_installed

- force the target skeleton copy done when making the "$(BUILD_DIR)/.root"
target
     + this copied all the skeleton files

- normal make
     + this re-installed everything ... in case a selected custom package
        installed a file on top of a default file living in the skeleton.

We used this feature quite often, since target skeleton was part of
what was updated from time to time as part of project development.
