 :) All , I was trying to say that , the path to the makefile inside the
 scripts will add that directory to the existing path. 

 Say, present is like /foo/bar/hoo that will become /foo/moo/bar/hoo

 that "moo" directory will holds all the makefiles.

 Okay,  as I said ,in top of the mail this is absolute trivialities.
