It allows me to express the dependency of the .stamp file on the .list 
file, and to use a static pattern rule as in:

$(all_java_stamp_files): %.stamp: %.list

Actually I wanted $? because it could be ok for building the class 
files; but it is not for the .lo file, and these take much longer to 
rebuild than the class files -- so it would not saved a lot anyway. 
I've changed it to $^.
