"Batch-Mode" rules with Microsoft compile

[John Skiff]

I'm working on an NT 4 machine using the Microsoft Cl compiler.  I've
found that this compiler is much faster when given a list of files than
if its called once for each file on the list.  I've read a description
of how to get this "batch-mode" using nmake.  However I much prefer GNU
make.

I've tried everything I can think of get gmake to pass the names of all
changed files on one line to the compiler but nothing was successful.
Can anyone tell me of a way to do this?

Thanks,
john
