Hi again,

I'm now running into a scoping issue with .PHONY targets. I'd like to do 
something like this:

foreach(x, a b)
   echo loading  $x
   package. =
       include $x
   register-package($(package))
   .PHONY: $(package.name)
   echo
   export packages

But I'm not sure how to export the $(package.name). I tried "export 
packages $(package.name)" but that didn't work. Doing a full "export" 
works though. Is there a way to do this?
