If you define
SHELL = rdmd
you might not need any wrapper script.

Since newlines in make mean new execution, you will find it pretty hard 
to write a recipe that will be both usable and readable. This is, of 
course, assuming you overcome the fact that rdmd does not accept the 
program as a "-c" argument.

IIRC there is an option in gmake that allows one to run all commands 
within the same shell.

Anyway, it seems such usage of rdmd would be quite extreme. -- Andrei

Too bad it's an all or nothing thing. It would, otherwise, have been 
very useful to me in various make files I've written in the past.
