Here we try to catch that the following targets can be specified:
make /
make foobar/
make foo/bar/

I have this wake memory that I had some troubles initially
when I did this. Most likely I did it the other way around:

        %/ /: bla bla

and it did not work.
But later I chenged the order and suddenly it worked.

But you imply that it is not acceptable to mix it
like I do.

And this one looks easy to fix. I can rewrite it like this:

        %/: prepare scripts FORCE

And we are happy.

Here I try to catch the following:

make config
make menuconfig
make xconfig
make foobarconfig

I must admit I cannot see the problem with mixing implicit and normal
rules in the above. But I gues this is my simple use of it.
Do you have any god suggestion how to rewrite this?

Note: %onfig: .... works but I would hate to use it.
