"." is there because we build the library. It is ordered after the "src"
subdirectory.

"build" is there so we can recurse on the various "clean" targets.

Note that "test" is there primarily for the clean targets, too. We probably
don't want to build things in there (by default).

Makes sense.  Thanks for the clarification.
