Details:

Almost all programs follow some common build steps (mostly with the GNU Build
system, some also with a CMake system. To avoid repeating the same set of
steps, we currently have some Make functions in
'reproduce/software/make/build-rules.mk'.

But Make functions have some peculiarities that make them hard to maintain
when they get long! For example they need to be seen as one long line! So we
need to put '\' at the end of all lines and ';' at the end of commands and
can't have comments.

So it is much better to have scripts instead of Make functions.
