To keep Greg and Ryan happy, mostly :)  I'm happy with the other
changes they proposed, but that one seemed a little short sighted.
But getting back to reality, it is pretty minor to fix later, and it
is reasonable to wait until we have real breakage to solve.  

Sure, I think we'll end up with rules.mk or similar, but for now we
have forward progress and no quibbling about a detail that can be
fixed in half an hour once it becomes important.
