After talking to Gordon Ross about it, it seems that the Solaris make
command does not do transitive evaluation of pattern rules.

The solution is to move to a single .c.so pattern rule rather than
splitting it into two.

Also, more comments in the Makefile will help people who run into
problems building a Samba VFS module for their special case.
