I'm looking more at having separate included .mk files for platform-specific stuff as well as better support for compiling under Windows as you've noted. Ideally I'd like to have a decent selection of platforms including: - Linux - *BSD - Solaris - Windows
I'd also like to explore making compiler choices configurable through simple environment variable settings or the like with support for these out of the box: - gcc (obviously) - clang - Visual Studio?
