I think anything that works is ok.  Maybe that's a bad attitude, given
the propensity of our tests to fail in strange environments.

I don't know.

This only matters if we have subdirs, right?

Anyway, I don't have a real problem with this.
It might be more reliable to simply sed `U = _' into the Makefiles.
But I'm not too concerned about it.
