Yes, I know. This has been accepted and even pretty usual style for a
long time - too long, actually.

The Makefile has grown way too long. Sometimes it takes a  long  time
until  we  learn  a  lesson.  Now  I  want to get rid of most of such
longish scripting in  the  Makefile,  and  I  started  rejecting  all
patches that add such stuff.


Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
