The moment there is a new compilation unit, or several of them (but still way
below "30M LoC" -- say, utils.c, screen.c and utf8.c), this quickly becomes
tedious to type for every unit and a program. And then one puts those commands
in ./build.sh. And then it occurs that one needs to adapt to a different
compiler, different flags, different PREFIX and so on and ./build.sh gradually
becomes less elegant than, say, a mkfile.
