Cache your make program cases

You able to add --haxe to arguments, in this case hxmake will be runned in compile-time on macro context, By default file make.n will be generated and executed with your current neko. This program will include all your built-in arguments, but you able to run it with additional arguments. You need to recompile your make if you modify your make-scripts or change your project in multi-module perspective.

Regular make program:

hxmake - just build your make program

neko make.n test --override-test-target=js - for example, run your make program with additional arguments

Specified make program:

hxmake test --override-test-target=js - build make program which will always run test task for js target

neko make.n --override-test-target=flash - and run your test task, but for js and flash target

Logging
