Here's another refinement to make "oldorg" the default target unless
local.mk is actively edited by the user.  If you already have a local.mk
file and would like this behaviour, just insert the following on the
first line of local.mk:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
oldorg:
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

With this patch, the new Makefile produces the same results out-of-the
box as the old one (modulo the bugs that got fixed: no need for a "make
clean" unless you do something really unusual).

The patch also adds a new target "uncompiled" that will remove any
compiled lisp files that may be around and just creates the autoloads.
If you fancy uncompiled installation, insert this as the first line to
local.mk:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
uncompiled:
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

This will enable a plain and simple "make" to do what you want without
taking anything away.

If you'd rather do something else with a plain "make", you can add your
own target definitions there as well (the first one will always be the
default target):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
fancy:  help info uncompiled
fancy-install:  help install-info install-lisp
help::
        $(info My fancyness)
        $(info ============)
        $(info )
        $(info fancy              - show help, update doc and autoloads)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

In this case, plain "make" would do "fancy" and you'd have a new target
"fancy install" plus a documentation for these when doing a "make help",
"make targets" or "make helpall".

The patch:

Subject: [PATCH] Improve compatibility with old Makefile

* targets.mk: change the "local.mk" template so that "oldorg" will be
  the default target for maximum compatibility.  Admonish info message
  with a reminder to use "make help" for more information on targets
  and that "oldorg" is the default target for now.  Add new
  convenience target "uncompiled" that will keep the lisp directory
  free from *.elc files and the autoload files up-to-date.

* Makefile: make "targets" and "helpall" depend on "help" so that only
  "help::" or "helpall::" needs to be written for adding more help
  messages.  Useful when users want to add their own messages to "make
  help" et al.
