> Newt should be able to generate a Makefile, with the targets from newt target show, so that a newt source code base can easily be brought in.
> This includes a few features:
> - Every newt target should generate a .a file which is the superset of all built .a files, that way newt can be linked as a library into another application.  
> - All the include directories should (optionally) be placed into the bin/ directory, along with their full directory path.
>   - this MUST be optional, as for users of newt this creates unnecessary header file duplication, but it is very useful for people who wish to include newt in third party systems
> - Newt should have an option to generate a Makefile, with the targets in newt target show, that allows people to build a newt project without the newt tool, and just requires Make.
