Hi. I want to print a diagnostic message whenever my shell expression is 
evaluated. Currently, I have the following line in my makefile:

    SQLFILES := $(shell >&2 echo finding SQLFILES... && cd "$(srcdir)" && find 
. -name "*.sql")

As you can see, the message "finding SQLFILES..." is printed to stderr, but I 
want the original stdout instead. Does GNU Make make it available as some other 
fd, say, "4"?
