Changing tiny.mak requires changing a makefile, and you can only have one tiny.mak. If I understand correctly, these new changes allow the easy use of different driver sets for different compiles.
Perhaps even more useful would be a mechanism for listing just the 'games' that should be compiled in, and the tool would figure out the required sets of drivers to support those games. Then I could say that I wanted a MAME that just included Pac-man and would not have to know that the driver name for Pac-man is puckman.
