Actually, we should have a tiny bootstrapping shell-script (and cmd batch file)
and do the rest in Scheme, from a manually compiled together mini-csi. This is
actually pretty easy and I've implemented it twice.

But I'm not suggesting this. GNU make is mainstream enough and not as
scary as a self-hosted Scheme based build system. I also don't want to
make any disruptive changes anymore. We need stability now, and no
infrastructure replacement.
