Hmm.
There might be _three_ possible interpretations:
1. build A and then independently build B (like "ant A ; ant B")
2. get the set of targets {A, B} built (if A depends on B, B might be
built before A)
3. do whatever's needed to build A, and then do whatever remains that
is needed to build B (not rebuilding anything needed for B that was
already needed and built for A).
(I believe make works like number 3. "make clean run run" runs only
once. I have experienced preferring a different behavior.)
