Hi. Sorry this took so long. I tried to send it the night I was leaving
for overseas, but a scheduled power disconnection in another building meant
I lost the router for my subnet, and it wouldn't let me mail without at
least doing a DNS lookup... :-(
I also hope this hasn't been obsoleted by any of the 100 or so messages I
haven't had a chance to read yet. :-)

I couldn't think of good names, so I've "fixed" this by documentation. :-)

... which you've now fixed.
There are a couple more bugs in the current bindist stuff. In particular,
the list of `realclean' targets in the samples and extras directory is way
out of date. In order to avoid the same problem happening again, I tried to
fix this with a more general command:
-dirs=`find ../samples/* ../extras/* -type d -print | \
fgrep -v CVS | fgrep -v Mercury` && \
for dir in $$dirs ; do \
( cd $$dir ; mmake realclean ) \
done
However, when invoked from this Mmakefile, the `realclean' targets of at
least one module (references/extras --- but I suspect others will also be
affected similarly) do not function correctly, even though they work fine
when invoked on their own. The `global.realclean' target is not being
invoked, only the recursive `realclean's. I didn't have time to chase this
down any further.
These fixes would probably best be separate changes anyway.
Anyway, here's a diff of the bindist changes.
