Hi Francesco,
Could be done. But I expect a long parallel development
if we seriously settle with both. The other thing is that
hbmk.exe is a replacement for hbmk.bat for Windows/DOS
world, not for hbmake.exe, which worked differently. Given
this, maybe it's better to rename it in the GNU make system
to hbmk2. Albeit this isn't precise either, as this makes
life difficult for MinGW users (myself included)... Maybe we
should rename it conditionally for linux/darwin users. I don't
know how to do this though. I'll check.

The so far icy reception of hbmk / silence from Linux
users isn't very reassuring on any of the issues/comments
I've made recently. Yet I think we should clear these up
to create an easier to understand platform in general,
because right now with our two parallel and overlapping
make systems, plus our two parallel and overlapping
make tools isn't good for anyone, especially not for
potential users. In fact it's much worse now with a
second more sophisticated tool and additional file formats.
I think in the case of make tool we can do the integration
without losing any values, and least we should try. My
impression was that this is general need for everyone.

Brgds,
Viktor
