Yes. I am not sure though if that applies to my framework, because the 
Makefile is generated. But we can decide on that later. The Makefile 
generation is optional. We can also choose to only use the configuration 
part and handcraft the Makefile(s) your way.

I'll see if I can wrap something together in the next few days so you can 
have a look at how the framework has progressed so far. Running that 
configure script will output the Makefile so you can have a look at that 
too :)
