Why not keep the current semantics for `bootstrap', and add `bootstrap-cont'
or something to continue with a previous bootstrap?
I'm not sure how important it is to maintain compatibility, but it seems
like `make bootstrap' has become something of an idiom -- many people
think of it as what you do when you want to double-check an emacs tree
for buildability.
