OK, I'll stand corrected.  I think the last time I'd tried was with a beta
version of APW.  After seeing MicroEMACS's success in executing shell commands,
I went back & played with it myself & got usable execution of commands.
So a Make that executes commands is quite possible, though the timestamp
granularity is still a practical problem.
