Re: [PATCH] extract gifs from icons.shar at make time

Oh. Hmm..

man make
==
   When make is evaluating one of these conditional expressions, and it en-
     counters a word it doesn't recognize, either the ``make'' or ``defined''
     expression is applied to it, depending on the form of the conditional.
     If the form is `.ifdef' or `.ifndef', the ``defined'' expression is ap-
     plied. Similarly, if the form is `.ifmake' or `.ifnmake', the ``make''
     expression is applied.

     If the conditional evaluates to true the parsing of the makefile contin-
     ues as before. If it evaluates to false, the following lines are
     skipped. In both cases this continues until a `.else' or `.endif' is
     found.

     For loops are typically used to apply a set of rules to a list of files.
     The syntax of a for loop is:

     .for variable in expression

             <make-rules>

     .endfor
     After the for expression is evaluated, it is split into words. The iter-
     ation variable is successively set to each word, and substituted in the
     make-rules inside the body of the for loop.

back to the drawing board... I'll find another way (hopefully more portable).
