i'm looking at someone else's Makefile, and it is replete with
targets whose names begin with a period. i'm aware of the property
that such targets will not be considered as the default, but once you
define a few early targets, is there any value in continuing to have
period-prefixed targets?
in this Makefile, there are a number of "paired" targets such as:
clean_mystuff:
.clean_mystuff_fail:
which seems to suggest some kind of pattern, but i have no idea what
it might be.
