Including other makefiles doesn't work because convertRelease.pl just looks at definitions (of the form NAME=VALUE), not at everything (gnu-)make understands (include, etc...).

The configure/RELEASE file was designed to contain only filesystem location information for the build system to use, and the syntax must be reasonably simple because we don't want to make the parser too complicated (we can't do everything with just gnumake which is why we have to parse it ourselves). Any other build configuration information should probably be in the configure/CONFIG or configure/CONFIG_APP files instead.


The convertRelease.pl parser understands include statements that point to other RELEASE files, causing it to read and parse them in turn.
