I respectfully disagree my friend. :)  There was a time back when
disks were a lot smaller that saving inodes was a noble thing.
Nowadays (for the most part) that is not really a consideration, but
personally I still find it convenient to list as much as possible in
the Makefile. It saves cvs churn in any case.
