Well, it _is_ a Makefile ...

Speaking of which, that Makefile is in severe need of rewriting.
Currently, it's effectively a shell script as it doesn't really
take advantage of make(1)'s timestamp & dependency handling
(because it reimplements timestamp checking using shell rules).
Arguably it could be a shell script.  Or rewritten as a better
Makefile.

I would do the rewrite, but my time & motivation to fixing YP is
low at the moment, since I personally find it a flaky protocol.
E.g, it doesn't (easily) work in chroot cages, unlike hesiod & LDAP.
