strange that mash appears to be so little utilised in the inferno release.

in a naive search of the inferno source tree I find two "mashfiles",
one to build mash itself and the other related to mail extensions
to acme.

the lack of adoption sends a confusing message.
the fact that there is another command shell for inferno without
these features seeemingly relegates the "make" functionality 
to another special purpose language.
