So SUPER class works. My code has to get the original makefile chunk MM would have put there and then manipulate it. But I tried to not be dependent on MM's design so I didn't want to call an absolute named method/sub so I switch packages in the sub and did a SUPER call. The MY package doesn't inherit anything and I didn't think about adding anything to it since MM cleans out the MY package after each WriteMakefile call which sounds unfriendly but it does that.
