I haven't heard from Kenichi, so I prepared a patch to implement the
subset of what he submitted pertaining to the .log make targets.

I also factored out some duplication in the compile-main,
compile-clean, and check targets.

I'll plan to rename the Makefile to GNUmakefile as Stefan requested in
the same commit, once the patch below is approved for install.
