The general format of a make file is as follows:
The general
<target> : <dependency> ...
<command 1>
<command 2>
The target is usually a small file that is created using "touch <target>".
It can be considered as a text and in this case, it is referred via "make <target>"
The dependency(ies) are files.
The commands are single line commands in linux.
The last command is the touch command usually.
This allows the creation of a file to signify that the prior commands were executed successfully.
A perl script is written to generate the make file, in this script, you may document the analyses and
allow options to customize the variables in your analyses.
