We had this, and I think it's correct:

field.cpp: addressee.h addressee.cpp
addressee.cpp: addressee.h
addressee.cpp addressee.h field.cpp: [...dependencies...]
        mysrcdir=`cd $(srcdir)/scripts && pwd` ;\
        cd scripts && $(PERL) $$mysrcdir/makeaddressee

I.e. add "out1.txt: out2txt" to your example (or the other way round), so that only one 
of the generated files is rebuilt at a given moment, instead of both of them at the same time.
