make: phony support

Description

While using the make egg on a project, I needed to create rules whose targets are just labels, not files (like make's PHONY).

I ended up modifying the make egg to be able to do that. If the patch doesn't look too ugly, can you consider applying it? Feel free to change the parameter name.

Alright. The new one (overwrote the old one) should be better (I hope). It also fixes some typos (s/dependancy/dependency/).

Does the patch look ok? If so, I can tag a new release. If it doesn't look ok, I can try to improve it or come up with a workaround for my use case.
