Chip, Tags shouldn't be built automatically, unless someone runs "make tags"
(or overwritten in your per-user .mk rules).

Also, we should try to run ctags, else etags, else true

tags: $(wildcard *.[ch])
        ctags *.[hc] 2>/dev/null || etags *.[hc] 2>/dev/null || true

So this rule will never cause the build to fail.

Erez.
