Yes, I would like this feature very much and have asked for it in the 
past.  But what would be better in my opinion would be some mechanism by 
which I could customize the generated make file.  That is, I still want 
the IDE to build the list of dependencies and to declare the targets 
specified in the IDE.  But I also want the ability to add additional 
targets and rules that are protected.

I would find this very useful as well.  It is in fact one of the reasons 
I want to be able to have an "execute command before build" option.
