Another thing that would help reduce Makefile size is to introduce
synonyms for subdirectory paths. For example,
java/awt/print/$(DEPDIR)/
could be reduced to $(am_f123). This would of course obfusticate the
Makefile, so it should be made optional, or allow the user to specify
part of the name so it is still comprehensible.
