Hmm, ICC-MAKE is interesting - and not really documented at all :-( In 
fact, all I can find is this page:

http://www.dragonsgate.net/pub/help/iccarm/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=ICCARMHelp&file=9-CmdLine2.html#wp488383

Which says:

However, if you are a power user that

full-featured |make| implementation such as

Is it bad/hard/or not desired - to require that a more "full featured" 
make utility be used?
It simplifies many things (I say that knowing full well, that is a very 
one sided statement).

Digging up the original author is of the icc-make package (Jacombe 
Navia) does not lead to much information other then he wrote 'icc-win32"
