There is also the factor that the install target really ought to depend

On reflection, I think you're right.
Trouble is that "all" recursively
descends the directories so it may not be the best choice.
It takes less than a second to do 'make all' when there's nothing to do
on my system (which isn't a speed demon by any stretch), so I don't think
it's a big deal.
(As it happens, I'm not a fan of recursive make at all (see the classic
'Recursive make considered harmful' paper at
http://www.pcug.org.au/~millerp/rmch/recu-make-cons-harm.html [PDF]).
But that's definitely a post-1.2 argument.)
