I plan to add timestamps to the milestones, but don't want the Makefile
cluttered with code to print all the times in different formats.  Delta-
times would be more useful in some cases, but not always.

Don't do that.  It makes the start time hard to see while the world is
being built, and doesn't generalise to times for each stage.

Now the source looks silly: the STARTTIME variable is bogus.  It was for
holding the start time for printing later.
