[phobos] Makefile

[Andrei Alexandrescu]

I finally found time to rewrite the makefile. It's now short, sweet and 
easy to look at and modify.

The key is to use recursive invocations of make, each focused on one 
build (a given OS and a given flavor). That way dependencies are easy to 
set up without duplication. It took me a while to figure out how to do 
that stuff... the result is quite simple.

I actually copied Walter's description below as the documentation. The 
only differences are that I changed "doc" to "html" because some day we 
might have other doc formats, and also that I do not remove the 
successful unittests. This is because I don't want two successive 
invocations of make unittest to redo all successful unittests before it 
stops at the failing one.

I've only tested the Linux build, but I'm confident that the others need 
only minor adjustments, and most importantly that it's not difficult to 
figure how to make those adjustments. Let me know!
