I'm not. I'm just pointing out why Make is so baroque. The fact that all the 
stuff in the makefile is something you can't automate, and which in practice 
you wide up actually having to compile everything twice, the first time just 
to create the makefile.

Even *you* have to admit that nested #include files located solely via 
environment variables is not the best way to manage type information at 
compile time.
