Right.  Very powerful especially when you start putting
source and object files in different directories with VPATH.
I _always_ use makefiles to manage project files.

Except ps2pdf stopped being useful to me, somebody changed
it to not copy the page boundary from eps files.  I switched to

	gs -dEPSCrop -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=$@ -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -dAutoRotatePages=/None -c .setpdfwrite -f $<

Harder to write, but much better results.
