question on checking dependencies across modules

[Maurizio Cimadamore]

Hi,
In the context of the IntelliJ project support for JDK, I have a 
question on the very last step of 'make images' :

## Starting verify-modules
Checking dependencies across JDK modules
Access verification succeeded.

I noticed that this step is always applied, regardless of whether there 
was actually any change in the sources/built classes or not. Is that 
deliberate? This is a bit unfortunate as in our setup we depend on 'make 
images' to run tests, and if there's nothing to do, you will still have 
to wait several seconds for 'make images' to complete.
