I've noticed this too (and boy is it irritating).
One thing to consider - you must have ``|| (rm -f ${.TARGET}; exit 1)'',
not ``|| rm -f ${.TARGET}'', or you'll just carry on going. I thought
``.PRECIOUS'' was supposed to solve this for you, but it doesn't look
that way.
If noone comes up with an alternative, I think we should just live with
ugly.
Cheers,
Neil
