Why not separate object files, like in C, C++ or Modula ?
I know too little about Inform to say anything useful about this myself,
but maybe some-one else can shine a light on this....

As for 'make', many systems have a make-program, either standard as part of
the OS, or from Gnu. Otherwise it is relatively easy to use a batch file as
primitive makefile.
