Implementation question:

Would y'all prefer fully qualifying all .c file references
[${srcdir}/file.c], or would using VPATH be acceptable? Note - using VPATH
means that the separate srcdir build would only work with makes that support
it, whereas not using it means it would work anywhere. One's just alot
slower to implement.
