Heh. The obvious solution has always seemed to me that man(1) should be
taught about info files.

.PRECIOUS seems to be an old thing. It's also described in the O'Reilly
book about make (printed many years ago), and it is not described as
platform specific feature. I assume you can safely rely on it. No idea
why the man page doesn't mention anything ...
