Currently, the `recompile' target of nt/makefile.w32-in runs the
`recompile' target of lisp/makefile. It would be perhaps more useful
to run the `cvs-update' target introduced by Eli:

  # This is useful after "cvs up".
  cvs-update: recompile autoloads finder-data custom-deps

BTW, what is the `updates' target of lisp/Makefile.in (and
makefile.w32-in) used for?

  updates: update-subdirs autoloads finder-data custom-deps

Perhaps `cvs-update' should just be:

  cvs-update: recompile updates

as, after a cvs up, it makes sense to do update-subdirs.
