This is possible with the most recent version of GNU Make (soon to be
released).  Unlike `nmake', GNU Make is free and it is also supported (to
some extent) by me (one of its authors).  GNU Make is very powerful but
it does not go completely outside the realm of a reasonable `make'
program as AT&T's `nmake' and `mk' do.  These programs do things as hairy
as using state files and having a syntax so extended that one could more
simply write a C program to accomplish the same results.
