Having "lynx" as the primary target, as it currently is, is a bad idea -
because it is the name of the generated binary.  The way things are now,
after that change, make won't recognize that it has to recompile after
any files have changed - as long as a file named "lynx" exists in the
top directory (even if that's from last year).  This should be changed -
I guess this is a reason why targets like "all" are normally used
which don't correspond to any file.
