I definitely don't want to pass anything by reference (I like things to
be immutable).  I meant you should be doing

    (setq targets (pcmpl-gnu-make-all-targets ... targets))

instead of

    (setq targets (append (pcmpl-gnu-make-all-targets ...)
                          targets))

it's a standard coding style in functional programming (except
using recursion rather than while+setq, of course).
