  I think it's eminently sensible.  The @-file is increasingly a standard
convention.

 There is a de facto standard solution to this problem, which is that a 
 command line argument of the form @file causes arguments to be read from 
 file (a response file) if it exists.  (If file doesn't exist, 
 @file is taken literally as an ordinary command-line argument.)  This 
 feature is supported by GCC and GNU binutils, for example; I think it 
 originated on Windows, but it is useful everywhere with any command line 
 limit.

This seems like a very useful additional feature.

Can you please add this patch to the Savannah project for GNU make, so
we don't lose track of it?

Thanks for your work on this!
