The imakef tool supplied by Inmos with the toolsets does an excelent job in
producing makefiles.  It handles all the dependancies.  If your program has
only one executable and providing you have your #USEs, #INCLUDEs and ISEARCH
variable correct then there's nothing to worry about.  Here at Manchester,
converting a TDS program to toolset has just been a case of using iflat,
renaming one file, a couple of edits, imakef and make.  The recent versions
of imakef even add rules for deletion of intermediate files to save disk
space, and no dependancy checking of ISEARCH files for faster making.
