vapigen: have Makefile.vapigen always update the timestamp of generated files
Last modified: 2017-02-25 07:56:58 UTC
If the file already exists, vapigen writes to a temporary file "*.valatmp'. Only if the result differs it will update the existing file. See Vala.CCodeWriter.close(). That means, if a make dependency has a newer timestamp but no actual changes, the vapigen target will always be rebuild. Hack around that by explicitly touching the file.
