Oh right. So I had the other examples of order-only wrong too; it would
be:
all: foo bar
bar: | foo
But in order to get the full functionality you'd need:
all: foo bar
foo: baz biz
bar: boz booz
bar boz booz: | foo
And on and on for any prerequisites of bar, boz, and booz, etc. Ouch.
This is more powerful than the proposed .WAIT in one way, though: since
it actually creates target prerequisites it isn't impacted by targets
being built through a different branch of the dependency graph.
