I'm basically pushing on gmake to see how far it can go so I can design
a generalized framework that can work within a particular environment.
I am willing to use external code and very well may offload some of this
sort of processing to scripts. I am interested in using gmake
primitives alone inasmuch is possible to keep the framework managable.
