If I'm reading this correctly, it requires replacing every default build
rule with our own hacked-up version.  That's definitely not a recipe for
maintainability, portability, or playing nice with local
customizations... even if I thought the goal was a good idea, which I do
not particularly.  If I'm looking at make output it's generally because
I need to fix a problem; not knowing exactly what's being executed
is not going to improve my life.
