In my EE/Physics department, lab reports from previous years were known as "newtons" (as in: "do you have a newton for the preservation-of-momentum experiment?"), the explanation being that Isaac Newton wrote a lab report from scratch, and everyone else has used an older lab report as reference to make sure they got the right result - the transitive closure of which having Newton as a boundary.
I guess the equivalent Makefile term would be a Feldman[0], as in: "Do you have a feldman that can combine ghc and dmd output? I need that for a project"
