 * PATHNAME - a name of a file, broken into <grist>dir/base/suffix(member)
 *
 * <grist> - salt to distinguish between targets that would otherwise have the
 * same name - it never appears in the bound name of a target.
 *
 * (member) - archive member name: the syntax is arbitrary, but must agree in
 * path_parse(), path_build() and the Jambase.
