Thank you David. I found the article very educational.
It seems to me that Peter Miller's observations apply
quite directly to the current Axiom makefile structure.
Perhaps the process of constructing a single make file
for Axiom would help to identify the dependency cycles
with which Tim is currently struggling. In a complete
makefile such dependencies ought to generate error
message even before the build process begins. Right?
