A fine idea!  And yes, it worked.  Attaching patch files.  I also used 
the same logic in the for loop, and added a loop-ending tag EOL along 
with a test for the tag in the body of the loop.

Murali -- if you haven't applied my patch yet, apply the one I'm 
attaching first (better-winallator-patch.txt).  If you have already 
applied my patch, I have a second patch 
(winallator-makefile-patch-again.txt), which will take the first fix and 
turn it into the new fix.
