The name "SCRIPTS" is misleading, since almost everything in the
tools directory is a script, but this variable only includes lmc.
It would be a good idea to add a comment and/or change the name.

Why define both a generic rule and a special-case rule for lmc?

Also, shouldn't the top-level Mmakefile be modified to run mmake in
the tools directory?
