Thanks - this is a nice contribution.

The obvious disadvantage is that it makes something complex even more
complex (now you no longer have to source a script, you have to source a
script which generates a script which you can execute).  And I don't see
much of an advantage as a compensation, particularly given that what we
really want to do is to remove the scripts altogether. :-)

What about if we add the script to the gnustep-make, so whoever likes to
use it and wants to use it can use it, but we leave the default script /
behaviour as it is.

Thanks
