Would it be possible to allow command-line options without
 the '='?  The watcom compiler, for instance, allows the use of
'#' instead of the '=' so that batch files will work.

I am aware of the use of shell.exe, but it appears to require operation from a dos box, lest its console disappear.

I would prefer to be able to just double-click a batch file
to build, rather than opening a console and typing in
the command and target.

A minor nuisance that would require minor effort to fix.
