        My concern was that the target names in the top level make file
(umaxv and umaxv-slang) are more "generic" than the subdirectory name
(umaxv-m88k, which implies this is the start of a family of umaxv-foo
subdirectories).  One would expect that to be the other way 'round, since
everyone will have the directory tree break-out, whether they need it all
or not.  Also, I was wondering if a yet more generic "sysv3" subdirectory
name might be more appropriate.  In any case, the target name shouldn't be
less specific than the subdirectory name.
