I had misgivings about a setup where you tell the software to do one
thing, and it does something completely different. It also added a
maintenance headache for the "synthetic" top-level Makefile, since
every target in the real Makefile would have to be replicated (and
maintained - for ever). It's far easier to just tell the user to
build elsewhere.
