+According the semantics of make, the expansion of $(dir) in recipes\r
+uses dynamic scope, i.e. the value at the time the recipe is run. This\r
+means if test/Makefile.local is not the last sub-makefile included,\r
+all heck breaks loose.\r
+---\r
+\r
+This was originally part of some suggested changes to Jani's folder\r
+series, but no reason to wait for Jani and I to sort that out.\r
