I think the nmake files should be separately maintained and named
accordingly, and only have nmake content in them, like the pd/src/
makefile.nt. But I think 'makefile.nt' isn't a good name, it should
be like 'makefile.windows' or 'makefile.msvc' or 'makefile.nmake'.
From my experience, makefiles that mix proper make and nmake stuff
are just a massive headache. Or maybe M$ is just a massive headache,
so I want to wrap it in GNU. Just a spoonful of sugar makes the
"medicine" go down...

FYI: if you remove all makefiles in 'extra' you can replace it with

MinGW and Cygwin, plus is based on the Makefile template for
libraries.
The existing 'extra' makefiles have always been problematic when it
comes to anything but GNU/Linux.
true.
however the extra/Makefile from pd-gui-rewrite is again a big
monolithic
chunk with all files (and by-now non-existant files as well)
enumerated.
it reminds me of the old externs/Makefile for pd-extended.
that's one reason why i chose not to use that.

One good feature that a build system should provide is to notify you
when files are missing. So if files have been removed from pd/extra
in 0.43, then the build system should tell you that. Then you should
edit the Makefile so it has an up-to-date list of relevant files.
