Specifying Target Groups with the + Sign

In the target entry for parser.c and parser.h, the + sign separating the target names indicates that the entry is for a target group. A target group is a set of files, all of which are produced when the rule is performed. Taken as a group, the set of files comprises the target. Without the + sign, each item listed would comprise a separate target. With a target group, make checks the modification dates separately against each target file, but performs the target's rule only once, if necessary, per make run.
