Subject: Makefiles: Use .DEFAULT to support arbitrary targets from sub directories.
X-Git-Tag: 0.1~182
X-Git-Url: https://git.cworth.org/git?p=notmuch;a=commitdiff_plain;h=341d49b0610fcf725da618d87fda577a3d512343;hp=3f32fd8a1c06d417bdcb467bac2805f658cb5476

Makefiles: Use .DEFAULT to support arbitrary targets from sub directories.

Taking advantage of the .DEFAULT construct means that we won't need to
explicitly list targets such as "clean", etc. in each sub-Makefile.
