Don't forget that you started using the original makefile generator 
after others had beat on it and tweaked it for 3 years.  The flat 
makefile design has several technical advantages, but the generator is 
still young so the usability details have not yet been hammered out.  We 
considered leaving the old generator in place and giving the new 
generator a new name but decided we didn't want to support 2 versions.
