Right, it was supposed to expand to existing files so we always run the
rules, but your solution is better. In fact, I tried touching a file
named "clean" and the "phoniness" didn't actually work, since apparently
"%" isn't expanded for phony rules, so I used $(MAKECMDGOALS) for the
rule too.

With Yann's comment the first patch would then be:

Does that sound good?

Sure, will do.

Thanks!
