OK, after some discussion on IRC with Joseph:

Not including the second check in category.mk would result in this error be
thrown for each garball in desktop/, when running this:
  make -C desktop/ install

That is, using 'install' instead of 'paranoid-install'. Seems to be quite
common. Instead of 80-odd identical errors, this stops immediately after the
first one. Also useful to prevent *300* such error messages in the case of a
top-level 'make install'...

Downside: To actually build as root, one needs to change 2 files. Not that a
big deal, IMHO. However, much nicer. :)


I decided to go with gar.gnome.mk, because it is less cluttered and more
GARNOME specific anyway.
