[gentoo-dev] emake question

[Aron Griffis]

Hello,

I'm looking at emake, trying to understand what is being accomplished.
It seems useless to me, though I'll be quite happy if told that I'm
wrong.

(1) It claims to "auto-parallel make without the annoying syntax".  But
    it does nothing to parallelize the make process that I can see.

(2) It uses env, which does nothing in this case.

(3) It uses a variable MAKEOPTS to pass options along to sub-makes.
    Isn't that redundant to GNU make's built in MAKEFLAGS (which are set
    and passed to sub-makes automatically)?

Thanks,
Aron
