The library does require gmake :) I guess I could use .ao or whatever. I'll
take my chances as far as the compiler thing, and handle build bugs
upstream... The rules I've been replacing in ICU all were like:

	%.o: $(srcdir)/%.c
		$(COMPILE.c) -o $@ -c

so I guess all the compilers they support also handle -o w/ -c nicely.
