However, there are built in rules.   For a c++ file we just say:
SOURCE=foo.cxx

And the rest just happens.

I am not so sure.   I have done stuff like this in the past, and most compilers
have a default mode that produces a default object file output.   However,
it is not a standard.   For example, what happens with mac compilers?
Even if we could figure this out for the current compiler/build system set,
I don't think the feature is worth the effort, and burden it places on the
generator writer.
