It means different libraries can be compiled to machine code,
separately, and then linked with the machine code for the main
program's modules to form an executable program.

Your guess is wrong.  For libraries it would need to be

	mmake test1.depend test2.depend
	mmake libtest1 libtest2

If you want them to be compiled in parallel (at the same time), rather
than one after the other, use the `-j' option to mmake.
