It seems to me that maxima.system contains the list of Lisp files
needed to build the entire system. I was basically wondering why both
the *.mk and maxima.system files need to be maintained. Could not the
*.mk files be created from maxima.system?
If so, could we not just always have make run mk:oos to build the
image? If the sources files haven't changed, then nothing is done.
If they have, they'll get built anyway.
But perhaps I'm missing something....
