a much better recommendation is "run config.status (or configure -redo
on windows) *every time* after pulling". this ensures that qmake is
rebuilt, and possible adjustments to the configuration are done.
it takes about half a minute (soon much quicker, as we're about to
finally add chaching), and if nothing actually changes, it won't have
any impact on the subsequent rebuild.
this requirement certainly seems a bit arbitrary, but it's an inevitable
consequence of the qmake bootstrapping.
