Like I said, explicitly doing this in the makefiles that need is becomes quite 
messy.  Moreover, I haven't done any timings, but I'd hazard a guess that this 
is much slower than setting __FILE__ for each included makefile.

I never said MAKEFILE_LIST is unusable; I said it's very lacking and that 
MAKEFILE_STACK would be better if it existed.
