Actually, i was thinking about the case-preserving thing, refreshing
my memory via google, pre-windows FAT filesystems (which i assume Eli
is using since he's not using long file names) case-destroy to
uppercase, which would just mean that they are pre-processing things
which don't need to be.


+           set comp_output [target_compile $sourcefile ${name}.s
"preprocess" "incdir=$srcdir/$subdir"]

is it possible for ${name}.s and $sourcefile somehow clash on
case-preserving case-insensitive filesystems when builddir==sourcedir?
