[I haven't been able to keep up with the volume both here and in i386,
so sorry if this has just been discussed...]

	With all the nifty make's floating by, have there been any
that will do both an "include" and automatic construction of a
response file to feed to the linker?  I think early versions of ndmake
had the second but not the first, while another old make had the first
but not the second (you get the idea...).  I've gotten accustomed to
using "include" on SUNos and with gnu make on unix (tm) systems, but
neither (of course) had difficulties with handling long command lines
unlike on messy-dos.

	I can ftp from most anywhere but it'd be wasteful of resources
until someone can tell me for sure that some PD make has those two key
qualities.

	Thanks in advance. (If there's interest and I get lots of
email, I'm happy to summarize.)
