Consider and IDL to C++ mapping:
SUFFIXES = .idl C.cpp C.h S.cpp S.h
Where Foo.idl is mapped into client stubs FooC.h etc.
By the rule:
.idlC.cpp:
# do whatever
You abosolutely do need the SUFFIXES declaration, otherwise you end up
with a .idlC to .cpp mapper.
Thus honoring SUFFIXES if found is actually quite important...
