Post 3.0, a spring clean of all of the Makefiles would be a very good
thing. Right now isn't the time to do any major surgery. [Our record
with "minor" Makefile changes sucks - there have almost always been
unintended side effects with Makefile patches]

I worry less about the lack of opportunities for make parallelism as Xen
builds fast anyhow.
