Thanks for clarifying. This made sense as soon as I read your email,
but I didn't reply right away because I didn't have any better ideas,
and right now I still don't. So perhaps we should just go with this
for now. At some point I'd like to remove the existing use of "make
functions" like this, and this new one if we've added it -- they're
obstacles to being able to use a new make utility such as a
hypothetical toybox one -- but for now it's no worse than the
dependency we already have.
Anyway, I think this is still on-track for making it into the release.
I want to do some brief testing but if nothing else comes up I think
it's ready to commit.
