what i was saying is that mk knows and insures that the output files
are there.  the fact that it's not in the middle of the conversation is
an implementation detail, imho.

that is, mk is built on the assumption that programs communicate through
files; $O^c communicates to $O^l by producing .$O files.  mk rules
know this.
