Until someone started using inner classes, my Makefiles were being
fairly successful at "living with a whole slew of problems". :-)

Thanks for the suggestion. I named this target "w" in order to add to
what I already had:
X=foo$bar.class
XX=foo$$bar.class
XXX=foo\$$bar.class
d=$$
W=foo$dbar.class
.PHONY: x xx xxx yy w
x: $(X)
echo $(X)
xx: $(XX)
echo $(XX)
xxx: $(XXX)
echo $(XXX)
yy: $(XX)
echo $(XXX)
w: $(W)
echo "$(W)"
However, other than the quotes, it doesn't seem to work differently from
my previous "xx" target:
$ make w
make: don't know how to make fooar.class. Stop
$ gmake w
echo "foo$bar.class"
foo.class
$ make xx
make: don't know how to make fooar.class. Stop
$ gmake xx
echo foo$bar.class
foo.class

Hmm, well thanks for reminding me about ant. I guess I should really
consider it, unless I am ready to admit to being an old dog.
