Idea: GNU Make Standard Library

[John Graham-Cumming]

It suddenly occurred to me that it might be nice to have a standard
library of GNU Make functions that Makefile writes could 'include'.   I
could imagine something like 'include gmsl.mak' which would then define
a bunch of functions to arithmetic, list manipulation, string functions,
...

Anyone think this is a good idea?  If so, I'll consider registering a
SourceForge or Savannah project for this and maintain it.  I could
implement quite a bit of this and release it under the GPL.

Thoughts?
 
John.
