Extended Description

The old/real makefile system of the standard lib is broken, probably because
no-one has used it for ages. The top-level makefile starts with some pretty
weird dependencies and actions:
all: hidden/src/FibreScan/FibreScan.y
	$(MAKE) $(SACBASE)/stdlib/Makefiles/Makefile.Config
	$(CLOCK_SKEW_ELIMINATION) Makefiles/Makefile.Config
	$(CLOCK_SKEW_ELIMINATION) config/config.h
	$(MAKE) standard_all
hidden/src/FibreScan/FibreScan.y:
	# $(MAKE) untar 
	./configure
	$(CLOCK_SKEW_ELIMINATION) Makefiles/Makefile.Config
	$(CLOCK_SKEW_ELIMINATION) config/config.h
I have disabled the make untar in the second rule because I have no idea
what tar-file is supposed to be untarred here. make untar does make sense
in conjunction with make tar, but as the start rule? The stdlib doesn't
come as a tar-file. 
It is also strange that configure is forced to run each and every time.
Even with the make untar disabled the make fails with complaining about a
missing rule. 
At least the documentation is still in the state of the old module system.
If this is to be resurrected, preferably the originator needs to have a
close look at it.
