[bug #30381] Don't avoid implicit rule recursion quite so soon.

[Reinier Post]

Follow-up Comment #8, bug #30381 (project make):

Somehow the verbatim tags ate most of my descriptions (a preview facility
would be really nice), retry:

(imagine verbatim on)

(6) d. For each prerequisite that does not exist, follow this algorithm
recursively to see if the prerequisite can be made by an implicit rule,
excluding the present rule from the list of rules to consider.

(imagine verbatim off)

A variant on my proposal:

(imagine verbatim on)

(6) d. For each prerequisite that does not exist, follow this algorithm
recursively to see if the prerequisite can be made by an implicit rule,
excluding the present rule from the list of rules to consider if and only if
the present target is not shorter than the prerequisite.

(imagine verbatim off)
