It turned out that the new make bootstrapping file Init.gmk needed some 
redesign.

First of all, we should always respect the SPEC if possible, and not 
chose a random configuration for extracting targets.

Secondly, tab completion did not work in a non-standard configuration 
directory. (This is slightly related to the problem above.)

And third, there were still some code cleanup necessary.
