Yes, I intentionally did this in two commits, so that the changes in
MakefileGenerator were not hidden within the added file.

Well, I'm not confused: "gen dash make dot py" vs. "build slash gen make
dot py". :-)

The goal is to have a set of build script generators, living on top of
the gen_base module: gen_make.py for Unix makediles, gen_dsp.py for MSVC
6.x project files, gen_whoknowswhat.py for MSVC.NET project files, etc.

Actually, I feel that in this case, pairing off gen-make.py with
build/gen_make.py (and later gen-dsp.py with build/gen_dsp.py) is sort
of logical. If you keep in mind that you can't easily import a python
file as a module if it contains a dash, there's even a visual clue that
lets you tell the difference between scripts and modules.

In the end, I suspect we'll just have a gen.py in the top level that'll
generate appropriate files based on parameters/platform/whatever.

(And before you ask, I didn't name the new file gen_makefile.py because
Emacs in its glory decides that it should be in Makefile-mode, because
of the name... Yes, I know there are other ways to fix that.)
