Description

The functionality of this syntax is already available with the `make` egg and is not used inside the core system. Therefore it should be deprecated. A patch to do so is attached.

Shouldn't there be a poll? How do I add one? :-)

With my small shell-fu the following eggs would be affected:

 find ./release/4 -name \*.setup  -exec grep -H make\  {} \; |grep trunk | cut -f1 -d: |sort -u | while read f; do basename $f; done
 9ML-toolkit.setup
 bind.setup
 crunch.setup
 dbus.setup
 dissector.setup
 easyffi.setup
 flsim.setup
 hyde.setup
 iexpr.setup
 jbogenturfahi.setup
 kanren.setup
 loop.setup
 make.setup
 miniML.setup
 nemo.setup
 objc.setup
 openal.setup
 opengl.setup
 pulseaudio.setup
 qt.setup
 qwiki.setup
 scss.setup
 signal-diagram.setup
 spiffy-uri-match.setup
 spock.setup
 stalin.setup
 static-modules.setup
 sxml-informal.setup
 utf8.setup
 vandusen.setup
 zmq.setup

That's 31 a managable small number. So for the sake of a leaner core system I am for it.
