Quoting from: http://www.reference.com/browse/wiki/Bogey

 * British slang for a piece of dried mucus; see the American equivalent,
   booger. The term was made famous in the United States by Harry Potter
   purists who objected to its replacement with "booger" in the American
   version.

I was wondering if you were likening to our Makefile rules to dried
nasal mucus :-D  Now that you mention it, I don't think it is that unfair
to confer all Makefile rules with bogeyness... no need to change the
patch IMHO.

Cheers,
        Gary.
