I personally still like the syntax Henning proposed over 10 years ago (with a little tweak by me: please read the entire thread): http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/make-alpha/2002-12/msg00000.html There was a prototype patch posted by Henning: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/make-alpha/2003-01/msg00000.html I doubt it applies cleanly any more, and there's still a good bit of work (most particularly, we need a set of at least semi-comprehensive regression/unit tests for the new feature), but it's a starting point. _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
