I could do all of those things with the old build system. I can't do
them with the new one.
Well, actually you can by removing the right stage_? file and doing
"make bootstrap" again, but it's unwieldly and error prone.
About the only rule that I might have added to the old system was "make
unstageX" (X=1,2,3...), which would effectively reverse the effect of
"make stageX".
I most definitely agree with that! Indeed, this is a manual process for
me that's also very error-prone.
