Here we have some improvements that finally make parmake build correctly even when external packages change.

While some time ago I thought this would only be possible with external knowledge from cabal or similar (as implemented in my patch to skip all Make-style time mchecks building when a SKIP_TIME_CHECK environment variable is set), I recently found the ghc -M -include-pkg-deps option, that allows us to get external .hi dependencies as well.

Github does not display my commits in the right order (and I guess that's why Travic CI fails?). I'll close this and make a new pull request.
