No doubt someone is about to recommend "cc -c smurf.c -o demo_smurf.o" without
realizing that it's a non-portable Berkeleyism.  Yes, I recommend you use
"cc -c smurf.c && mv smurf.o demo_smurf.o".  Since this destroys any "smurf.o"
you already have, you may want to consider making the other target with
"cc -c smurf.c && mv smurf.o real_smurf.o" so there's no "smurf.o" target.
