Previous dmake versions just silently ignored AUGMAKE style .<suffix> meta
targets if no prerequisite was given, see issue 65360, and treated them as
ordinary targets.

The new dmake started to complain about this and produces a lot of warnings
like this when building OOo:

dmake:  /cygdrive/d/w1/tin_ws/solenv/inc/tg_hxx.mk:  line 94:  Warning: --
Ignoring AUGMAKE meta-target [.NULL] because prerequisites are present.

The reason is that .NULL is used in several makefiles in solenv/inc as a dummy
target to prevent that something like this:

$(SOMEMACRO) .NULL : myprereq

would abort with an error if $(SOMEMACRO) is empty

Easy solution to get rid of the warnings: Rename all occurences of .NULL to
_NULL .

Complicated solution: Rewrite the makefiles and unroll them.

I'll provide a patch for the first option soon.
