I second this. Not from personal experience, but from having watched a release engineers manually convert MSVC-generated makefiles into something intelligible by humans, so that they could inject a bit of flexibility and portability into the way things got built. That is to say - I would not (yet) have had occasion to use it myself, but I've certainly observed instances where it'd be useful. And perhaps it'd make it easier for people who want to be less chained to Microsoft and thereby encourage more open software development. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
