The bulk of the patch is in an automatically generated file that creates
a file on demand, this entire construct could be replaced by simply
copying a file into place.

The remaining instances are messages printed to the console, this could
be hacked around using $(info ...) and a sub-make -- but I think that is
even worse.

The difference in quote handling would only allow writing the messages
surrounded by quotes, and these could be arranged to form a frame around
the message.

For the directory creation and file deletion I don't see a way around
the call syntax though, because of the processing required.
