I don't see that this chunk creates src/scripts/Makefile.
It's a bit weird.
The untangle that creates Makefile is embedded in the script
${DOCUMENT} = 'document'. I agree that it is a bit obscure.
Probably it should be separate.
You can find 'document' in the src/scripts directory.
If this is the case then the literate document describing the target
${SRC}/scripts/Makefile should mention this behaviour. (And better
still, the Makefiles would be linked together and a click on ${DOCUMENT}
jumps to its definition and maybe from value of DOCUMENT there is a link
to the file and another click into the .dvi and my editor opens inside
the documentation of the "document" command.)
We have a long way to go...
