- Makefile: make the "sparse" target non-.PHONY
Prevent "make sparse" from running for the source files that
haven't been modified.
Will merge to 'next'?
The concern in earlier rounds was breaking existing users, but in the
v4[1] the "incremental" is a new target, and with the Makefile template
the result is, I think, easy to read & worth it. So hopefully it can
proceed.
