why not just standardize makes across as many platforms as
possible, ie dmake . which is available on almost every platform
mesa is.
projects files are useful too, makefiles can be incredibly esoteric,
each to their own. I dont see why the mesa makefile has to be so
complicated it can't be minimized to a level where cross platform
is fairly irrelevant
nearly all unix tools like sed are also available to almost every OS
i use sed,yacc,bison,lexx in various windows projects, with makefiles
and VC project files..
