Please send all questions to the mailing list, rather than emailing me
personally. Thanks!

No. But you can fake it with the trick I mentioned in my last email,
using $(shell ...) in an immediate context:
__dummy := $(shell <whatever>)
Here, <whatever> will always be executed before any rule is attempted.
You can leave out the variable assignment if you're sure the script will
not generate any output to stdout.
