While experimenting with a patch that adds a GUC, I was befuddled by
the new GUC's failure to be available after I rebuilt and reinstalled.
I eventually realized that the problem is that utils/misc/Makefile
has no idea that guc_tables.o needs to be rebuilt after changing
guc_tables.inc.c. Of course, this isn't a problem if you use
--enable-depend, but I generally don't. IMO we have a project
policy that dependencies other than dependencies on .h files should
be understood by the Makefiles, so I think we need the attached.

regards, tom lane
