Static Pattern Rules
====================

   "Static pattern rules" are rules which specify multiple targets and
construct the prerequisite names for each target based on the target
name.  They are more general than ordinary rules with multiple targets
because the targets do not have to have identical prerequisites.  Their
prerequisites must be _analogous_, but not necessarily _identical_.
