The former, I touched a .mo file to test it. I re-read 'make' info pages, and this is indeed documented: when you add an existing target without command (as with my patch), dependencies are appended to the list of prerequisites, which is exactly what we want.

Yes, I took a close look at your patch ;) Adding those dependencies against .wml files is a very good idea. Denis
