Description Sami Wagiaalla

The autotools plugin updates make targets by iterating of all targets and making calls to org.eclipse.cdt.make.internal.core.MakeTarget.set*
through IMakeTarget several of these calls result in a call to projectTargets.saveTargets(); which again iterates over all targets.

This results in an O(n^2) situation casing eclipse to hang. It would be nice if there is an interface to update a MakeTarget without calling save all
