I just talked about this a little with someone and came up with a possible
solution that I didn't think of last night.

First, the rule for RCS is changed (in the Makefile) so that .c, .h and
whatever other files depend on the RCS archive files.  Without out any rule
changes, Gnu Make only attempts to check out files from an RCS archive if
the file doesn't exist.  Once the file exists Gnu make won't try to check
it out again, even if the date of the RCS archive changes.

By changing the rule, a command set can be run whenever the date on the RCS
archive changes.  These commands could determine if the file needs to be
checked out again.  This is possible because although the dependency is not
on date of the RCS file, this date will change when a new version is
checked in - essentially indicating that futher dependency checks are
needed.

I plan on getting this working correctly within the next week or so.  If
you are intrested in the exact solution, just drop me some mail.'
