: Does this mean that "make" can see (or registers) if a file changes? 

Definitely. That's what it's there fore. You can
use it to define the dependencies between a large group
of files and let it remake the whole bunch in the
proper order as soon as it has detected one of the
dependencies has broken.

See the folowing reference for more information on
make. They also have an IMake version. Let me know
if you need info about that.
