Maintaining the various levels of Makefiles of large projects can quickly become impracticable.
That's a general defect of recursive make setups. How does .WAIT fix that?
I try to advocate good Makefile writing, but I also try to avoid recursive Makefiles, and having a feature such as this .WAIT implementation would be quite handy.
To quote a coworker of mine: what problem are you trying to solve? I have yet to see a problem here where .WAIT is obviously the right solution. It seems like a poor solution to the "no concurrency" problem and unnecessary for the recursive make problems.
