The way that's been discussed to fix this is to have the mozbuild frontend
figure out that if there's a file in EXPORTS, then it must either a) live
on disk, or b) be present in GENERATED_FILES, and do the right thing. If
neither a) nor b) is true, then it is a configuration error.
The GENERATED_FILES mechanism is pretty clunky at the moment. One way to
fix this is something like:
with GeneratedFile('...'):
SCRIPT = 'make.py'
INPUTS = [...]
This proposal gets rid of some of the duplication we have right now. It
doesn't address your request for applying the same rule for multiple paths,
though--I'm not sure what a good way to address that would be, since
presumably for different outputs you'd want a different entry point in the
script or different inputs anyway...?
