[ raised eyebrow ] It's not apparent to me that moving it someplace else
would reduce the net cruft any.
The real problem is that Peter just did the minimum amount of work
to get VPATH to work at all, not to get it to work in a non-surprising
way. We really need this code to be explicitly VPATH-aware, I think,
rather than overloading the inputdir and outputdir concepts in
multiple ways.
