Here is a little patch that improves Rules.make:
first, it gets rid of the `scripts/pathdown.sh' script (which
may be deleted because afaik it's used only for Rules.make);
second, in the current version of Rules.make, the names of all links
to modules contain two slashes instead of one. :-)
Perhaps, this change is bash-specific, but e.g. `make config' is also bash-specific.
