This is a bad idea.  Just use mmake
(or the new `mmc --make' option).

Sometimes it is.  `mmc --make-priv-int' is needed if you are using
nested modules.  `mmc --make-short-int' is needed if module
`filename2' imports module `filename1' or vice versa, I think.

But don't use those options. JUST USE MMAKE!
