How does this rule:

	foo.o: foo.ilbm
		ilbm_to_obj foo.ilbm -o foo.o

Differ from these rules:

	foo.o: foo.c

	foo.c: foo.ilbm
		ilbm_to_c foo.ilbm -o foo.c

Or even:

	foo.o: foo.ilbm
		ilbm_to_c foo.ilbm -o foo.c
		cc foo.c

Which has the advantage that it will work even if the object file format
changes... for example, switching between Manx and Aztec or porting the
program from the Amiga to, say, an AT running SV/386 and X-windows.
