	Oooh! I like this.  We tend to do a lot more "foo =
$(yoink_$(someothervar))" type stuff, and tend to avoid the ifeq
constructs.  This may make a good foundation for other packaging
systems, such as dpkg.

	If you find an answer for the deep-% rule, I'm open to
whatever.  I've been meaning to fix up deep-% and garchive for a while
now.
