Could be. I was inspired by the use of ${DO_NADA} in ports Makefiles, but
perhaps that's for targets which truly do nothing rather than targets which
serve only to activate their dependencies... if anyone else has opinions on
this please email me directly; no point clogging up the mailing list. I'll
adjust based on feedback (which is currently leaning in favour of .PHONY).
