<h1>Skeleton Makefile Generator</h1>

<h2>Abstract</h2>

OSSP smake is a powerful mechanism to generate standard Makefiles out
of skeleton Makefiles which only provide the essential parts. The
missing stuff gets automatically filled in by shared include files. A
reasonable scheme to create a huge Makefile hierarchy and to keep it
consistent for the time of development. The trick is that it merges
the skeleton (<tt>Makefile.sm</tt>) and the templates (include files)
in a priority-driven way, i.e. defines and targets can be overwritten.
The idea is taken from <a href="http://www.x.org/">X Consortium</a>'s
<tt>imake</tt>, but the goal here is not inherited system independence
for the Makefiles, the goal is consistency and power without the need of
manually maintaining a Makefile hierarchy consisting of plain Makefiles.
