More than convincing me to use Make for dataviz, this really begs the question, "Is there a good dataflow manager for data visualization?" Something that can use URLs as dependencies, simpler syntax than Make, perhaps has a node/pipe dataflow GUI... Cascading.org comes to mind, but it is too complicated and Hadoop-oriented for this kind of dataviz.
