Process

Make is our friend, because its hackable.

token := genrate-session-token()
foreach t in $tools do
    $t($token)
done

The session token is a number used to differentiate between compiles.

Every tool is wrapped, so that it emits its output both normally and piped into errtags.

A tags file is generated and processed by vim.

Structure
