Which reminds me of a little hack I did for my own private PBM port long
ago (in times of DJGPP V1), to save some disk space. 100+ statically
linked executables seemed excessively large, back then, and the makefile
built only the p?mmerge ones, anyway. So I created a host of batchfiles,
like ppm2acad.bat:
@shift
@ppmmerge ppmtoacad %0 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
one per command, and *compiled* them all using Bat2Exec. The compilation
step was necessary to make redirection work correctly.
Maybe that could be an option for the new port, too?
