Comment(by iraikov):
I agree that eventually it would be nice to have a DSL for generating
makefiles, but before we can design such a DSL, we need some design cases.
Such design cases can only be obtained by a relatively straightforward
('boring') port of the current Makefiles to Scheme, and then iteratively
improving and generalizing the resulting build system. I think this would
be better than trying to come up with some grand design that doesn't work.

here]. Of course, the non hygienic macros would have to be rewritten and
the build rules updated for Chicken 4, but at least this is a starting
point.

and shouldn't be underestimated. I actually tried to write a tool from
scratch (based on `C`), but failed miserably. Using chicken-make is an
option, but I'm afraid of bootstrapping issues. What if it doesn't
compile? I also find the approach (basically just a `make(3)` replacement
with full programming capabilities) somewhat boring. I'll have to think
some more about it.
