+The procedure of creating and maintaining makefiles.zip

+The automatically generated makefiles are not necessarily optimal.
+The build is started from allinone/all directory, and the all.mak file is used
+to build the entire module through. Each subtarget in this file is going to be
+made recursively unless there is a switch RECURSE=0. If the switch is available,
+for each subtarget all its prerequisites should be made earlier than the subtarget itself.
+Therefore, you should order the ALL target's prerequisites so that they are going
+to be built in a consistent order. Unfortunately there's no automatic process for it,
+just prove the prerequisites for each subtarget and push them forward in target's ALL
+prerequisites list. The changes between generated & optimized all.mak can be seen when
+comparing the files from v1.5 & v1.6 of makefiles.zip.
