sorry, i glossed over that part of john's response, or i would have
taken exception to it as well. :-)
recall that i got interested in this several days back when i was
asking if there was a way to enforce an ordering on some dependencies.
i wanted a single phony dependency to be processed *before* all
remaining dependencies could be done in any order (or in parallel).
(and the obvious solution didn't work for me based on the way i was
defining my recursive rules.)
the way i read the "make" book, i suddenly thought i had the
solution. not so, as we've established here. thanks.
