Oh. Long ago, I did this:
  %.rc.o: %.rc
in a makefile (for make, not automake). IIRC, it permitted me to have both
'foo.rc' and 'foo.cpp', and get distinct '.o' files; but that's less natural
than using distinct stems like 'foo_msw_res.rc' and 'foo.cpp'. (But a very
long time ago I was using some IDE thing that wanted identical stems.)
Then I saw this in 'Makefile.am':
  .rc.o:
and thought it was similar--but it's really an old-fashioned suffix rule,
which is natural for automake.

When you commit your changes to the lmi trunk, please see whether anything
needs to be done to the skeleton trunk (updated 20110623T2034Z) as well so
that my really cool heavy-metal ïcön still works.
