I think the point of Frank's patches is to make Visual Studio users
comfortable with Git. You cannot ask those to use a build process or an
IDE they are not used to.
Of course, if someone has a huge itch to restructure the current
Makefile; factoring out the files into a file which can simply be
included in the current Makefile, and easily parsed by a script, or
included by CMake, then that can be done in parallel and possible added
to git mainline before the MSVC support patches from Frank.
I still think it would be possible to use a combination of a
Makefile rule and GNU make features to spit out a list of targets and
their dependet .h and .c files.
Ok, but you would still have to rely on GNU Make in this setup, and it
would have to generate the common_cmds.h before you can even compile
with the MSVC IDE.
