The comment in the code says:

#define OP_MADE         0x00000800  /* Assume the node is already made; even if
                                     * it really is out of date */

So, what should .MADE really do? My .NOSUFF change only affects
suffix lookups, does not affect the dependency graph generation/evaluation...
If indeed .MADE does the job, I'll revert my change...
