Note that the GNU make manual imports this section as well (into the
"Makefile Conventions" section).  The text is identical (when I build a
release of GNU make it automatically grabs the latest version of this
chapter from the standard place).

I thought that the text was clearer here; you can infer the details but
it's not very explicit.  Maybe it was the automake manual or something
where it seemed like the rules were more clearly spelled out.
