The original maintainers of dpatch decided against using make and
using shell script for dpatch interface. I can only guess their
reasonings but there are a few caveats with the make snippets:
1. it's harder to try from command-line.
2. It's harder to get those .PHONY targets invoked the right number of
times.
But I agree having them implemented in makefiles feel much simpler.
