Hi all,

I want to fix make's object directory rule, so that it works
as expected by all concerned.  Anybody have a feeling for the
right thing to do?  As Bruce points out not only is the current
rule way to complicated, but the way it is implemented in make(1)
now is wrong (at least according some standards).  Please tell
me the desired order and I will be happy to fix it.

TIA,

Steve
