I've looked a lot into how we could make the build system nicer.  As best as I 
can tell, making good use of recursive make files is very, very difficult to get 
right.

I've tried a few times to prototype something and have not been all that successful.

I can do that, I guess.  I was going by Linux convention where even the 
subdirectory fragments are still called Makefile.

It doesn't.  FILES creates symlinks but this makefile fragment is not directly 
buildable so it's not helpful to have it in the build directory
