I can't believe I've just spent an entire day writing Makefiles... At 
this rate, it would almost be simpler to just write a loop to compile 
every source file in every directory and then link them all! But, alas, 
it turns out that you have to actually link them in the right order, or 
it doesn't work.

I also enjoy how if you try to link an executable, it whines about 
unresolved symbols, but if you link an SO file, it's NOT considered an 
error to have missed half of the necessary object files... (!)

On the plus side, as a result of this, I got our Makefile down from 22KB 
to 4KB...
