This is because there's a directory called "tcl". Since the directly
already exists, there'd be nothing to make.
Picking a dummy target like this is a way to force the target to
always be built, regardless.

leo's fix (r8695) works just fine on windows :)
but what is all this .dummy business?
tcl: tcl.dummy
tcl.dummy:
- $(MAKE_C) tcl
tcl.test:
- $(MAKE_C) tcl test
tcl.clean:
- $(MAKE_C) tcl clean
can't that just be
tcl:
- $(MAKE_C) tcl
etc.
