Aha!  OK, I can fix that with some fairly simple Bourne shell changes.
Good debugging to both you and (Martin) and Jean-Michel!!!

And the reason all the files are needed is that, in many cases, the
model is run using "make output.txt" command which, being a make
statement, will cause the automatic rebuild of all missing or
out-of-date files.  So, by linking all of the files in, nothing except
the actual "output.txt" should get updated by make.
