+
+;;; Commentary:
+
+;; Under OpenVMS the standard make-like program is called MMS, which
+;; looks for an input file in the default directory named DESCRIP.MMS
+;; and runs the DCL command rules therein. As of 2005, the build
+;; process requires a hand translation of the Makefile.in and related
+;; Emacs-specific methodology to DCL and TPU commands, so to alleviate
+;; this pain, we provide `make-mms-derivative', which given a source
+;; FILENAME (under `make-mms-derivative-root-dir'), inserts the file
+;; contents in a new buffer and loads FILENAME-2mms. The elisp in the
+;; -2mms file can (do whatever -- it's emacs -- and) arrange to write
+;; out the modified buffer after FILENAME-2mms loading by using:
+;;
+;; (make-mms-derivative-data 'write-under-root RELATIVE-FILENAME)
+;;
+;; where RELATIVE-FILENAME is something like "src/descrip.mms_in_in".
+;; Over the long run, the convenience procedures provided (see source)
+;; will be augmented by factoring maximally the -2mms files, squeezing
+;; as much algorithm out of those nasty heuristics as possible. What
+;; makes them nasty is not that they rely on the conventions of the
+;; Emacs makefiles; that's no big deal. What makes them nasty is that
+;; they rely on the conventions of separately maintained tools (namely
+;; Autoconf 1.11 under OpenVMS and the rest of GNU), and the separation
+;; of conventions is how people drift apart, dragging their software
+;; behind mercilessly.
+;;
+;; In general, codified thought w/o self-synchronization is doomed.
+;; That a generation would eat its young (most discriminatingly, even)
+;; is no reason GNU cannot build around such woe.
