Pipelines that use Gnuastro can greatly benefit from Makefiles since Gnuastro
commands are primarily written as shell commands. Because of this, Gnuastro
already has some
[https://www.gnu.org/software/gnuastro//manual/html_node/Makefile-extensions.html
GNU Make extensions]. 

Another feature that of Make that is very useful in pipeline that uses
Gnuastro is its ability to set the 'SHELL'. We can use this to have custom
Makefile recipes, for example to spin-off threads in a HPC, or use a custom
language for interpreting different recipes within the same Makefile.

Work has already started on a
[https://codeberg.org/Gnuastro/scripts/src/branch/master/makefile-recipe-customize.sh
first draft of such a script]. After it has been tested, it can be called
something like this: 'astscript-makefile-custom-shell'.
