This configuration is for timing how we evaluate long chains of
dependencies, specifically when -j is used.
-We set up a chain of 500 targets that get built from a Python function
-action with no source files (equivalent to "echo junk > $TARGET").
-Each target explicitly depends on the next target in turn, so the
-Taskmaster will do a deep walk of the dependency graph.
