Ok.  The only reason I asked is that it is difficult to get everything working with the command line, especially on Win9x where the command line length is very constrained.  It seemed that since everything now can be done via makefile, that it would be easier to get this working than incorporating the make functionality.  I hadn't realized the difficulties involved in unit interdependancy.
