Why not solve the vpath missing directory problem?

Thank you, that is a great suggestion.  It is a much more
elegant
solution.  It makes my point - that the behavior of only
including
directories in vpath at the time that the Makefile is
evaluated is best
left up to the makefile implementation itself rather than
being an
intrinsic behavior of the vpath command - even better.

Thanks again, and best wishes,
Bryan
