Re: Patch to allow make to load plugins that add new functions.

[Tim Murphy]

Knowing make's current idea of where it is would still be nice even if
it keeps changing.

I also would like to hook to the start and end of the execution of
every recipe because there are many uses for this, one of which might
be progress but triggering retries (when unreliable network shares are
involved), logging what recipes failed with the return code so on are
other use cases.  You can do a lot of this if you write your makefiles
specially but that's not much use for building things written by other
people or other tools.

Regards,

Tim
