Good idea. Committed 20110623T1036Z, revision 5215.

Please take a look at 'Makefile.am', which needs more work for two
reasons. First, my old workaround:
  foo.cpp --> foo.o
  foo.rc  --> foo.rc.o [with '.rc' inserted in destination name]
was distasteful, so I removed it from 'objects.make', and I suppose it
should likewise be removed from 'Makefile.am'. Second, isn't part of
'Makefile.am' redundant? What do you think of this proposed change?
