I am trying to build MetaHtml to on NT; it has 43 sub-makefiles,
which resulted in an unplanned stress-test of ld.

make --jobs=1 didn't help very much either; it just seemed to go into infinite
recursion. (I killed off the ~70 processes when I saw the same subdirectories
being re-made for the third time).
I wonder if this is a makefile problem or a make problem...

Does anyone know what make is supposed to do with recursive dependencies?
ie. is it supposed to do a graph-thoeretic sanity-check, or is it the job
of the makefile author?

Anyway; this is what fell out.
