If I may go out on possibly a very long limb here, and answering your specific question my understanding of project.el is that it helps in writing a "project implementation backend". It is that backend that understands Makefiles and supplies these bits of information, via project.el's API to interested Lisp programs, like xref, perhaps "M-x compile" or some other project-wide command. I'd welcome that, provided it becomes popular enough that some useful backends actually do get written. But I may be misreading the whole discussion, it's indeed become a bit confusing. --=20 Jo=C3=A3o T=C3=A1vora
