Haha 😄
Yes, it was amazingly complex.
I totally agree, your Makefile is much more readable and maintainable.

This is a much needed cleanup. The world is now a noticeably better place without that big Thank you very much @mgkuhn! |

I found the previous Makefile both insanely complex (over 100 kB!), unmaintainable, and it also didn't work properly (as was evident from the need to have additional makepdf and makeps wrappers to build the glossary).
I have, therefore, deleted the existing Makefile, and replaced it with a better, very simple Makefile, one that any student of my CST Part IB "Unix Tools" course should be able to fully understand in less than 5 minutes. I believe my new Makefile is a much better starting point.
I also moved the CUni.* files into the same subdirectory as the other logos, both for consistency, and such that "make clean" can "rm *.eps".
