Re: multiple derivations rules for the same input suffix (PR/37)

The test suite passes, but

 adl> + # A regex to compute the extension of the product

 adl> + 'output_extension' => "\$",

this sucks.  .$(OBJEXT) is not the sole possible extension used
as output; .lo is the other possibility.

I think the following will fail

  lib_LTLIBRARIES = libfoo.la
  libfoo_la_SOURCES = foo.bar
  .bar.y:
        command

because &derive_suffix will try to lookup
$suffix_rules{.bar}{.lo} which does not exists.

I'll try to rework this area of the patch next week.
