Note that .vio files are often 10x larger than .vo files.  Bedrock, for
example, produces around 1-2 GB of .vo files, and around 20 GB of.vio
files.  So .vio should definitely be optional.

I usually use the "quick" target of the Makefile generated by
coq_makefile.  If I want just one file, I build the target foo .vio.
