...say I'm building a particular graphic (chart.ps)
from a data.frame in S (mydata) that comes from an external
data file (mydata.csv). The makefile snippet would look like:

Splus < mkchart.src > mkchart.log 2>&1
.Data/mydata: mydata.csv build_mydata.src
Splus < build_mydata.src > build_mydata.log 2>&1

mydata.csv plus other necessary transformations.

functionality using R.
