hi todd.


a couple of months ago i split the mega `build' target up into a bunch
of smaller targets.  the point of this was so that it was really easy
to restart a build at any one of them...  it was addressing a PR as
well as a N year issue i and many others i've talked to have had.


this is no longer possible due to the simplification and collapsing
of targets.  eg, `do-build' is basically what was:

	do-lib-csu
	do-lib
	do-gnu-lib
	do-dependall
	do-whatisdb

[i've omitedd do-domestic because it was useless, and do-whatisdb is
probably fine in it's current form]


having these as separate steps was *REALLY* useful.  please put it back.
you can still use the make .for logic, just give them all first class
targets...
