title: What is your experience with non-recursive make?
body: <p>A few years ago, I read the <a href="http://aegis.sourceforge.net/auug97.pdf" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Recursive Make Considered Harmful</a> paper and implemented the idea in my own build process.  Recently, I read another article with ideas about how to <a href="http://sites.e-advies.nl/nonrecursive-make.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">implement non-recursive <code>make</code></a>.  So I have a few data points that non-recursive <code>make</code> works for at least a few projects.</p>
  
  <p>But I'm curious about the experiences of others.  Have you tried non-recursive <code>make</code>?  Did it make things better or worse?  Was it worth the time?</p>
