Up until now, the focus has been on making Makefile.in's themselves
generic and data-driven [1]. We would use pymake's API to parse,
load, and extract data from Makefile.in's to construct the build
definition. In the long run, we'd realize that using make files for
data definition was silly (and a large foot gun) and thus we would
switch to something else.
At present, we also can use pymake, I don't know and I want to know
when your work is done, we will abandon pymake?
As long as we are supporting building with make on Windows, we will
support pymake.
And will the work become a new development branch?
It's too early to tell how this work will play out. I imagine the goal
will be to merge work into mozilla-central as soon as it is ready to
minimize the potential for bit rot. We don't want two sources of truth
for build system data which can get out of sync.
