I like the idea of adding something like Guile to Gmake.  It would make generating complicated makefiles more straightforward.

That might be true, but Lisp is really a very good language for a make
scripting language, since much of make's behavior, at least in terms of
expansion of variables, etc. is somewhat Lisp-like already.
      
Just a thought: rather than adding a lisp-like language to make wouldn't
it be easier to implement make-like inference system in lisp?

Comments?
    

The meat of make is rule-based so I would think that replacing this with a functional programming language would not be a good thing.
