Thanks for pointing that out, but I can't get it to work here. All the
common code is wrapped in conditionals like this:
target:
..if <common conditional>
<common code>
..else
<target-specific code>
..endif
And .USE appends to the bottom of the target - outside the conditional.
There may be a way to pass the target-specific code to the .USE macro,
but that's the sort of obfuscating hack-up I was referring to.
But more importantly: do you think this sort of change (auto-su'ing) is
worthwhile? Would it save you time/effort/frustration, even a small
amount?
