Hmmm. Putting in some provision for .h files would probably be very useful.
And people have been complaining about the .make dependancy since the beginning
of time. But I don't think that that part of it is going away.

However, you're not entirely out of luck. CreateMake *IS* a script. You are 
perfectly welcome to open it up and change it to create .make scripts of
your own liking. You can even hammer the Commando dialog to provide support
for any new flags that you add to the script.
