This is the problem I reported earlier where [.foo] means a
zero-length file in the directory [.foo] but foo.dir means the
directory itself.  On some VMS systems this stops the build in its
tracks and on some it doesn't.  I'm not 100% sure what makes the
difference but it's not a VAX/Alpha thing -- I've seen it on OpenVMS
Alpha v7.1.
