We typically write something like:
# file /must/ be in current dir (builddir) for proprietary tool:
__heap.o: lib/__dfl_heap.o
cp -f $< $@
Make finds $(srcdir)/lib/__dfl_heap.o via VPATH, if any, and
sets `$<' accordingly
(of course this won't work if in the above example the
filenames (including path parts, if any) of data-in-source-tree
and data-in-build-tree and exactly the same).
I case this is portable (is it?) I think it could be a touch better?
