I'm happy of you can find something cleaner.

We can't just have a dependency of all on $(PROGRAM)($X) because if 
PROGRAM is empty but X is not it will do something horrid like try to 
build ".exe".

If we do it the way Zoltan suggested then on Windows even if 
$(PROGRAM)$(X) exists and is up to date it could be rebuilt, since the 
target name won't exist.
