applications like Mozilla that Dimi's thinking of can use Unix-Style Makefiles as well.
What would be really nice is if the new intelligent winemaker produced a Makefile,
In any case, IMO this is what's winemaker is all about. Your idea of
introducing compatibility tools is nice but somewhat limited in scope.
What we really need is a much more intelligent winemaker.
rather than doing the actual build. That way it would be less opaque to debug any problems
as you could see exactly what the make was doing, and alter it if necessary. It also
means people won't have to keep on using VC++. Or does winemaker do this already?
