      Rewrite Makefile to be modular as well as more automated · b31056c7
      James R. authored
      Some key points for programmers:
      - Source code files are mostly listed in a 'Sourcefile'.
        So you no longer directly edit the object list. There
        can be multiple Sourcefiles and they can even live in
        subdirectories--the directory name will be prepended to
        every filename in the list. Of course, the Makefile
        still needs to be edited to read from each Sourcefile.
      - Different rules are no longer required for source code
        files that live in subdirectories (such as sdl/ or
        hardware/). Subdirectories Just Work so go ham!
      
      In addition to those points, another important change is
      that the bin directory is no longer divided into platform
      subdirectories (Linux64, Mingw, etc). Executables now go
      directly into bin. If you use DEBUGMODE or target 64-bit,
      then subdirectories for 'debug' and '64' will be made
      though.
      
      Oh by the way, I don't think make clean actually removed
      files before on Windows. It should now. I also fixed as
      many little inconsistencies like that as I noticed.
      
      And now just an overview of the technical aspects that
      shouldn't affect anyone who doesn't REALLY care about the
      Makefile...
      
      objs and dep directories have been moved to a make
      directory. Makefile.cfg and its variants have been moved
      out of their various subdirectories to src/Makefile.d
      make distclean removes the bin and make directories
      entirely, but make clean and cleandep still only affect
      the current build target.
      
      When I say automation, I mean that a lot of copy pasting
      in the Makefile has been reduced.
