"touch" pdf after creation reloads document in evince

[GoogleCodeExporter]

For some reason, evince doesn't reload the pdf file after make is called. 
touch-ing the file after generating the document fixes this issue.

diff is attached.

What version of the makefile are you using?

(run "make version")

This sounds similar to issue 37.  Have you checked out the resolution to that 
issue?

$ make version
LaTeX Makefile Version 2.1.30

This was a checkout from svn.  It's odd that deleting and moving the file 
doesn't
refresh it, but I think touch is less intrusive than rm/move.

Yeah, unfortunately touching isn't sufficient for some viewers.  I altered the 
patch a bit 
(to only touch when make-pdf is successful) and commited r56.  Would you mind 
having a look before I create a binary?
