I had a shot at it, and I don't have a great understanding of how to 
write a Makefile. In the lisp code for the rule there's a bit of code 
that checks for a clean working directory that I have not been able to 
replicate (stuck dealing with the fact that a bash string has an extra 
space at the end (🤷🏻‍).  I will commit this into a merge 
request, but it is *definitely* a work in progress.  Maybe someone else 
can figure it out.
