I've often succesfully replaced long lists with short ones like "xs/*.o".

One way to deal with the long lines (and one liners) is to say "nmake /n 
> make.bat" and then manually edit the make.bat. But I wonder how 
people in general deal with them when Makemaker routinely makes 
oneliners that don't work in cmd.exe. Do they use another shell or what?
