Right, thanks. Using regular Makefiles with mmc --make would be quite
strange, I think.
The Makefile would not be aware of the dependencies, so it would be
something like this:
myprogram:
mmc --make myprogram
But if you had generated source files that mmc --make was not aware of,
you would have to do something like this:
myprogram: *.m
mmc --make myprogram
%.m : %.moo
moose -u $< > $@
Makes some sense I guess, as make can at least check whether generated
files need to be rebuilt.
