    Support additional utility subdirs.
    
    Instead of this top-level umbrella Makefile containing a fixed list of
    all the subdirectories over which it will ever iterate to run commands
    like 'make' and 'make install', we now identify our set of utilities
    using GNU make wildcards to find any subdir containing a Makefile.
    
    This means we can no longer handle the need to distinguish X from
    non-X utilities by having an exhaustive list of each; instead, we now
    expect each X-requiring utility to have a .need_x11 file in it.
    
    The fixed list of utilities in the top-level Makefile still exists,
    but now it's _only_ used for 'make checkout' to check out the default
    set.
    
    This will make it easier for me to prepare new utilities for
    publication, and will also allow me to drop more idiosyncratic things
    (stuff so tailored to my own preferences that it would be
    unpublishable anyway) into my own checkout of this repo and have the
    same top-level 'make install' targets apply equally to those and the
    published utilities in one easy step.

    Provide a 'make git-pull' top-level target.
    
    For safety, it pulls in --ff-only mode; but this means that if I have
    a long-standing checkout of this system I can update it all easily,
    rather than having to remember which subdirectories might have had
    upstream changes.

    New system for iterating over subdirectories.
    
    This is a more make-like approach, by defining a make target for each
    sub-make invocation. In particular, it should permit parallel make of
    the subdirectories, and also arrange reliable error tracking so that
    if any sub-make fails at all, the top-level make will fail.
    (Previously, the shell for-loops happened to work out that the
    top-level make would fail only if the _last_ utility built - typically
    xcopy - had a problem.)
