OK, it is all clear (I think :-).  I added:

.SECONDARY: .bar-%
 
To prevent the removol of .bar-<string> (where <string> is named in
"make doit<string>").  That did not work.  Creating:

.SECONDARY: .bar-test

and then doing a "make doittest" did as I expected.  I guess that one
cannot use the % macro in .SECONDARY targets?
