using Sweave with a master file that has several iputted .tex files

The benefit of Makefiles is that one is essentially breaking up one
project into many smaller projects. My thesis has seven or so real
chapters. To build it all takes a few minutes on this laptop - not
intolerable but frustrating if one has to do it repeatedly. Using make
means a "build" for a single chapter is cached unless the source file
changes and so one can see the results of changes to one source file
almost immediately.
