The kind of stuff I want to use it for would make that tactic 
tedious and error prone. I would use it like how ctfe is used now.

Having multiple points in the source(maybe hundreds) that would 
call out to a external program at compile time but pass out 
different args. Relying on a makefile to do something like this 
would require me to keep the makefile and the source code 
constantly in sync and would become a problem before long.
