Well, OMake currently intentionally ignores directory contents - so an 
explicit dependency on a directory will only cause the directory to be 
built (so you can create a dependency on a directory that needs to be 
created first), but such a dependency would never cause a file to be 
rebuilt.

I've filed an RFE http://bugzilla.metaprl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=692 asking 
for an ability to override this.
