 Replying to [comment:24 felix]:
 > Works fine on mingw/MSYS but fails on raw mingw. I have to investigate
 this in more detail. I would like to add that I think that rules.make has
 not gained any more readability and is IMHO not an improvement, besides
 the reduced size.

 I can understand your complaint about readability, but why is it not an
 improvement?  Since the files are now compiled through a recipe generated
 by a "procedure" there's a lot less chance for individual mistakes in
 rules. Either everything breaks, hard, or nothing breaks.

 I assume the readability is in the "procedure" bodies, or is it something
 else?  What specifically is bothering you the most?  Perhaps I can work on
 improving that a little.
