     The targets in a dependency are specified before the colon:
 
          targets : [dependents]
 
     The targets section lists one or more target names. Separate
     multiple targets with one or more spaces or tabs. You can specify
     a path with the filename. Targets are not case sensitive. A target
     (including path) cannot exceed 256 characters.
     See: ◄Dependencies►
 
     If the name of the last target before the colon (:) is a single
     character, put a space between the name and the colon; otherwise,
     NMAKE interprets it as a drive specifier.
 
     Usually a target is the name of a file to be built using the
     commands in the description block. However, a target can be any
     valid filename, or it can be a pseudotarget.
     See: ◄Pseudotargets►
 
     A targets can appear in or be assumed in multiple dependencies.
