Great that it works again. I don't care where it was fixed, only that it 
works. :) Sometimes this gets stuck on incorrect updates of the 
generated targets list in configurations as well, so it might have 
actually "broke" at one point but not been discovered, since the target 
list was not regenerated. And similarly "fixed" at some later point but 
still not been discovered as fixed, due to a bad cache. If you ever get 
trouble with tab expansion again, make sure to start by cleaning out the 
entire build directory (if only temporary with "mv build build-old").
