If one was to port a make-program to AOS/VS, how much should the
interface be changed? I mean, should one accept '/switches' instead
of '-options'? Should the 'newline-escape' be changed from '\' to '&'?
One thing which has puzzled me, is how to express things like:
$ make XLIBS="x1.a x2.a x3.a"
Should it be
) make XLIBS/DEFINE=x1.lb+x2.lb+x3.lb
to avoid the CLI splitting it up into seperate args? Doing otherwise
would require more parsing. Is it worth it?
