Ah yes, now i remember.  It seems that if make sees "include foo",
and there's a rule for foo, then it will try to satisfy it.  Which
leads to the undesirable behaviour of building stuff in make clean.

So the stamp file is a bit of indirection to keep make from seeing
the link between the include and the rule to create the include.
