  Description     : Perl DOM implementation for Makefiles

This libary serves as an advanced lexer for (GNU) makefiles. It
loselessly parses makefiles as "documents". The results are data
structures similar to DOM trees, holding every single bit of the
information in the original input files, including white spaces,
blank lines and makefile comments, so it's possible to reproduce
the original makefiles from the DOM trees. In addition, each node
of the DOM trees is modifiable and so is the whole tree.
