Does it matter whether it's standard? Esp if the standard doesn't work on
Windows and MacOS. The file names are self-describing, and the 'make' target
could emit a message to say what the outputs are called.
One advantage of using the standard name is that it's the default in
emacs. If we use a non-standard name, everyone has to type it in (and
know what it's called) rather than just hitting return.
It'd be good to decide one way or t'other and clear it away. Does anyone else
care?
(This can't be a new problem.)
Previously we only generated TAGS, as far as I can tell.
I wouldn't object if that continued to be the case :-)
Cheers,
Simon
