I just saw that you've removed this for 2.5, so did I on my local
working copy of 2.4.

However, I now have the problem that gmake doesn't correctly recognize
the dependency below resp. does really odd things to $(OUT_*_IMAGES)

$(outdir)/lilypond.dvi: $(OUT_EPS_IMAGES) $(OUT_PNG_IMAGES)

I added the following targets for debugging:

| .PHONY: foo bar
| foo:
|       @echo $(OUT_EPS_IMAGES)
| 
| bar:  $(OUT_EPS_IMAGES)

This gives the following result.

$ gmake out=www foo
./out-www/baer-flat-bw.eps ./out-www/henle-flat-bw.eps 
./out-www/lily-flat-bw.eps
$ gmake out=www bar
gmake: *** No rule to make target `/baer-flat-bw.eps', needed by `bar'.  Stop.

Note that this independent of --no-builtin-rules.

Now comes the fun: With a Makefile stripped down to exactly this
problem, it works:

| depth=../..
| 
| IMAGES=$(wildcard *.png)
| 
| OUT_EPS_IMAGES=$(addprefix $(outdir)/,$(IMAGES:.png=.eps))
| 
| .PHONY: foo bar
| foo:
|       @echo $(OUT_EPS_IMAGES)
| 
| bar: $(OUT_EPS_IMAGES)
| 
| $(outdir)/%.png: %.png
|       convert -geometry 50x50% $< $@
| 
| $(outdir)/%.eps: %.png
|       convert $< $@
| 
| include $(depth)/make/stepmake.make 

Has anyone an idea what's going on here?

Ciao,
        Kili
