makeloop is to continuous integration as crawling is to roller skating.

it puts awhile loop around make, and stops for input after each iteration, allowing you to:
'' - run another iteration
'q' or EOF - quit
'edit', 'vi', or '!vi' - edit the makefile
! - shell out
sql - launch sql client
ps - run ps --fu ${user}
'-' - swap the current make target for the previous make target
anything else - change the make target
