# This function is only for internal use below. It should be called
# using $(eval). It will set up a target so that it recurses into
# a given subdirectory. Note that to avoid a nasty bug in make 3.80,
# it is important that the expansion of this function not exceed about
# 200 bytes. This is why we make it apply to just one subdirectory at a
# time, rather than to a list of subdirectories.
# this function has to avoid using any complicated constructs (like
# multiple targets on a line) and also not contain any lines that expand
# to more than about 200 bytes. This is why we make it apply to just one
# subdirectory at a time, rather than to a list of subdirectories.
# $1: target name, e.g., all
# $2: subdir name
# $3: target to run in subdir, usually same as $1
