That's exactly what I'm talking about.  Unfortunately, inlining functions
isn't always straight forward, as you point out, but no one ever said
writing a compiler was easy :)

Assembly Studio doesn't have a make.  It just lets you very easily setup a
set of steps to build a program.  It handles building Zelda 86, which is
where the idea for the improvements came from.  Most programs only require
assembling, but it's useful when you need more.
