> So... Configure.pl needs to be able to build a makefile that hasper-C-file flags, and those flags need to be overridable per-file at configure time by the platform configuration module.
Does the makefile need to be a typical 'make' makefile or is an all-perl solution viable?
After three or four false starts... I don't really care. Right now we're generating makefiles because they're relatively easy, and at some point we're going to want a two stage build (one platform-native script, the other some combination of the languages parrot can compile to bytecode from) but in the interim, well, if you're interested in redoing it all from makefiles, go for it.
The only thing I ask, and I won't check in without it, is that either the resulting build script or the config system that generates the script be adequately understandable, so we can maintain the thing.
