I know where you are aiming at, you want a default that is chosen when a special
rule does not apply, but please note that this patch is only for the corner case
that xx.b and xx.b1 (or only one of them) already exist and they get prefered
over the rule without a prerequisite.

If you have this simple makefile and no preexisting files:

%.a  : %.b
        touch $@

%.a  :
        touch $@

%.b  :
        touch $@

all : xx.a
        echo ALL

then dmake always chose the shorter %.a rule without a prerequisite. This is
nothing new. The inference is done recursively until a match is found, e.g.
the fewest levels of recursion. You want the dmake to choose the longest
possible inference chain, I am not sure if this is easily doable (and 
desirable).
