Good point, that was a simple demo though ;-)

I've been using this auto.obj.mk tick for little while now.  Because I
play games with making .CURDIR a relative path (from .OBJDIR), I found
it necessary to do the auto.obj trick from sys.mk else even after
.PATH is re-constituted with adjusted relative paths, the damage has
already been done.  The main downside is that Makefiles that don't
include bsd.{obj,subdir}.mk still get objdirs - but I only found one
makefile (so far) for which that mattered.

All in all, it works well.
