Hello make makers,
I hope you won't mind if I expand on this:

Indeed it seems weird when "install" is identified with "./install" even
though "install" is declared as a phony target. (I don't know how
hard it would be to change this, because the .PHONY can appear at the
end of the makefile.)
Similarly, if a target is declared as phony, it perhaps should be
treated as case sensitive even though make is configured as case
insensitive.
What do you think?
