BTW, if you ever revise it, I noticed one minor omission in the discussion of using the -p option to mkdir: as well as building a whole path in one go, it also prevents mkdir from erroring out if the destination dir already exists, meaning that you don't have to use "-mkdir" and potentially ignore real errors as well as (irrelevant) EEXISTs. I'm sure you're aware of all that, but your target audience might not spot the implication if you don't make it explicit.
That's a good point and worth mentioning. I'll make a note for a future revision (currently trying to interest a publisher in a 'GNU Make Cookbook' of all my articles (http://www.cmcrossroads.com/content/category/8/147/268) on GNU Make stuff).
