I assume that the reason to use the filename "Makefile.lib" is that
scripts/Makefile.lib uses the same extension.

But whoever idiot(*) that decided to use that extension deserve to be shot!
It is not a library per see, it is just a bunch of stuff you include
in another makefile.
So Makefile.include would be better - and as an added benefit vim
does not barf on it.
