This is a friendly public service announcement about major moz.build
migrations. On mozilla-inbound, and shortly to be found on
mozilla-central barring backout, the variables FINAL_TARGET, XPI_NAME,
and DIST_SUBDIR have all been moved from Makefiles to moz.build
definitions. Due to the presence of a few cases where they cannot be
migrated, these variables are not actually enforced to be only in
moz.build, but please treat them as if they are.
In addition, since we want to use these variables to drive better
alternatives to some current makefile rules, please do not add any new
instances of make -C <directory> XPI_NAME=<blah> or the like.
A side note: backend.mk is now included by config.mk instead of rules.mk.
