Please, that's absurd. It is the _primary_ _purpose_ of Make to
create missing files from existing ones, if not otherwise possible, by
implied rules.
But it is not the purpose of Emacs to magically generate files when I
open them. It does not run makeinfo when I try opening a non-existing
info file. And it certainly should not do something like that in a
batch job.
