[lots pros and cons of current make and GNU make, good and bad points]

Gentlemen/women:

Handling large project with src scattered all over the places has been a 
problem in the MIT Athena Project, and one solution proposed and now heavily
used is the imake(n) utility (should I put it in imake(1)?).  The learning
curve is steep but it DOES do what's designed to.  Have you guys looked into
it yet?  Just curious.

Jonathan of MIT Athena Project should be able to give all of us a better
perspective.  Hey Jonathan, please speak up.  (I am afraid Jim is too busy
to answer such)
