The following makefile.mk gives the error "Don't know how to make `foo.b'" when
invoked as "dmake foo.b":

.a.b :
        @copy $*.a $*.b

foo.a ::
        @echo foo>foo.a

If I remove the ":" modifier from the "foo.a" target's ":" rule operator then it
works fine, but dmake's manual does say that having a single "::" target is
illegal, and, indeed, it works fine in other cases, e.g. the following:

bar.b : bar.a
        @copy bar.a bar.b

bar.a ::
        @echo bar>bar.a

In the above, issuing the command "dmake bar.b" corrcetly makes bar.a followed
by bar.b.

So it appears to be something to do with the combination of the ".a.b" type rule
with a single "::" target that causes the problem.
