Whoever does it, please don't fall prey of basename, which is not
portable; use `echo filename | sed 's,.*/,,'` instead. And beware the
brain-dead semantics of VPATH with Solaris' make: it will prepend a
VPATH directory to *any* *occurrences* *whatsoever* of a filename that
appears in the dependence list if the filename appears in one of the
VPATH directories, even if the occurrences is not related at all with
$?, $<, etc. This is even documented in the manual.
