You know what I would find real neat, if the M-x compile command could
please kindly be a little sensitive to just where we are in a Makefile.
The default make target should get a cue from the area under the cursor.
I.e. let's say your Makefile looks like:
z:
bla bla
q:
cla cla
Well, if the cursor is anywhere between the z but before the q, doing
M-x compile should set the default compilation to "make -k
z". Likewise, if the cursor is anywhere upon the q and onwards, M-x
compile should set the default compilation to "make -k q". Isn't that
more sense than just plain "make -k"? Yes, make this new behavior
optional, off by default etc. if you please. P.S. kindly implement it
for me and add it to emacs. Yes I mentioned it before but not as clearly.
If the cursor is before the first target, then the default command
would just be make -k.
