Sounds nice, I will
have to read more about it. (Any hints, links etc. are welcome.)

Alas, I don't know of any documentation for that, you can look in the sourcecode tho. (I'm by no means an expert in this stuff, alas.)

What if a programmer, for example an author of cal(1), just rebuilds
the unmodified source while it should be modified? Is there a way to
tell them they should at least verify their source code?


Not really. I wouldn't worry much about that problem, to be honest.
