It seems to me that this proposal would fill a niche between current Automake and Quagmire. IMO that niche may be small. One of Automake’s strengths is to support multiple make implementations. If you’re going to require GNU make, why not take Quagmire’s approach, so you really get to benefit more from GNU make features? Thanks, Ludo’.
