I'm very doubtful this utility is of any use.  nmake is useless compared
to gnu make.  I don't see how gnu makefiles can be converted to nmake
makefiles except in the most trivial of cases.

Like it or not, I suspect solution and projects files are the lasting
solution.  Makefiles are not normally used in the Windows world, because
nmake is not usable for anything non-trivial.  Microsoft doesn't make
nmake truly useful, because no one uses it enough to care.  Heck, I
could never get nmake to work with the makefiles generated by Visual
Studio!  Instead of fixing nmake, Microsoft simply dropped from VS the
option of generating makefiles.
