Test case?

The documentation in doc/user_guide.texi should document this
new feature (by mentioning EXTRA_MLOBJS).

Note that GNU Make now has it's own support for target-specific variable
definitions.  So in the long run we should encourage people to use that.
At some point we should probably require a recent version of GNU Make,
and then when everyone is using GNU Make's syntax rather that Mmake's
syntax for target-specific variable definitions, we can get rid of all
of this stuff in Mmake.

It would be a good idea to grep through the Mercury distribution
looking for other occurrences of these variables which should
also be changed, if you haven't done so already.
