If we wanted those kinds of features then we might as well create a
configuration/project file-format that tells mmc --make how to build a
program.  Similar to a .cabal file for Haskell (Yes, Cabal has many problems
and no I don't want to copy their bugs).  This is related to package
management which we're working towards slowly.  We can re-consider it when
designing/implementing other package management features.
