I have now done so, with the result being the attached diff.
It was much more interesting (in the Chinese curse sense)
than I expected.

For review by anyone. I would particularly like to know
whether there is a better way to force the creation of .opt files
before the compilation of their would-be consumers than the one
adopted by this diff. Until now, I assumed that this was solved long ago,
but apparently, this is not the case with mmake.
