Now I would say it's generally bad to use wildcards for what is done

In principle I agree with you, although I don't know anything about this
specific rule.
Janet (or Jeff): What was this wildcard introduced for? As it's not for
the Borland (by ifdef) and not for the Microsoft (by my experience), it
can only affect the MinGW or Cygnus compilers. Are there other files
generated apart from the target dll or exe? Or does the compiler name
the target dll or exe different from the usual make target name?
Wouldn't it be possible and more appropriate to add targets or change
the target name in that case?
I wonder if it's related to the manifest files, which Ken has just been
telling me all about. With the latest MS Visual Studio 8.0 release
running on XP (w2k is apparently immune from this), an executable will
only run properly if the manifest file that details all the DLLs it
needs is installed in the same directory as the executable.
Janet may be a little busy right now as we're coming to the end of a
shutdown, but I'm sure she'll respond when she has time.
