Please explain,

I find that creating dump files helps debug problems.
There are not enough diagnostic tools for the automake or the debian
make, or even MakeMake in general.

We need to provide some standard visualization/gui tools that can read
dumps from various build systems using a standard input language. 
Then it will be easier to figure out problems and learn about systems.

I will look into that.
