So SUPER class works. My code has to get the original makefile chunk MM would have
put there and then manipulate it. But I tried to not be dependent on MM's design so I didn't
want to callĀ  an absolute named method/sub so I switch packages in the sub and did a SUPER
call. The MY package doesn't inherit anything and I didn't think about adding anything to it
since MM cleans out the MY package after each WriteMakefile call which sounds unfriendly but
it does that.
