+Once a dependency is built, it will not be built again by
+default. Typically dependencies do not need to be recompiled
+and this speeds up building immensely. There are a few ways
+to force recompiling a dependency however:
+
+* The dependency directory is a symbolic link; the dependency
+  will always be recompiled.
+
+* The dependency is built directly, for example with a command
+  like `make -C deps/cowlib`, or `make` in the dependency's
+  directory.
+
+* The variable `FULL` is set, for example `make FULL=1`. This
+  will force building of all dependencies. This can be added

+* The file `ebin/dep_built` in the dependency is removed.
