This is mostly to recompile less when possible. Take a look at
rules/xorg-app-xinit.in for example: startx needs mcookie so xorg-app-xinit
depends on util-linux-ng, although this is not needed to compile
xorg-app-xinit. Before this change, changing an unrelated util-linux-ng
option meant recompiling xorg-app-xinit. Now only targetinstall is
reexecuted.
