I dont think the file suffixes should determine what environment is used
(g++, etc.) and temporary copies can cause problems when an error stops the
Makefile. Links are ok with me but I would have difficulty trying to update
the GNUMakefile's that come with OpenInventor to do that. It might be easier
to write some scripts that change the names. They only have to be executed
once.
