updates for less shelly behavior

took out a few things that were previously generated everytime a build was performed, in fact, they were done per each makefile, potentially consuming a huge amount of windoze's spoons.  windoze is just NOT good at running lots of little programs, and prefers the big blobby ones.  so we're trying to cut down on the shelling out done by feisty builds by offloading them to the regeneration process.
