Re: need access to Makefile path

[Noel Yap]

Although it's reminiscent of DOS, I like your use of '%' in private variable 
names.

There's a lot of meat in this.  It'll take some time for me to chew on it and 
digest.

One thing I can say right now is, if you had an include-makefile function, the 
below would become:

        $(call include-makefile,foo.make)       # frame-enter and frame-leave 
are implicit

Thanks,
Noel
