2 and ? I would like to replicate what nmake :PACKAGE: does without using nmake, since I am trying to cut down on build-system dependencies. This decision is partly at the behest of my colleague and partly because I continue to have difficulties getting bin/package to work the way I expect, which leads me to wonder whether I can distribute something based on AST that others will be able to build on systems different from mine. The ? is that I have gotten quite interested in understanding the details of how nmake works. I am hoping to persuade the Glasgow Haskell Compiler project either to switch to nmake or to incorporate some of nmake's good ideas into their own build system. Growing a formal model of nmake seems like a good next step, and :PACKAGE: is a not entirely random place to pull.
