Not having a make that knows about RCS is a real pain.  As far as I
can tell, I need to explicitly state dependencies between RCS/foo.c,v
and foo.c for all files in my project.  This works, but it has the
unpleasant side effect of spewing forth warnings about infinite
loops (because the dependencies go both ways -- one for checkin and
one for checkout).  I tried to set up default dependencies with
.SUFFIXES, but that didn't seem to work out too well either.  Somehow,
I feel there must be an easier way.  Can anyone suggest one to me?
