Make is pretty easy to work with as long as you work with it as a tool
for managing many files in a directory. [For example, it's often
better to put scripts in separate files.]
That said, even using "evaluate once" won't cure a makefile which
computes configuration information on the fly. Make wants to work
with state information in files, not state information that it can't
get a timestamp on.
