Tamas,

I did not remove the support for EXT_NMAKE_OPT - the first stuff in
nmake.opt now looks like:

###############################################################################
# For convenience, user may put custom settings in a local settings file
# named nmake.local, or a name defined by the EXT_NMAKE_OPT option.

!IF EXIST("$(GDAL_ROOT)\nmake.local")
!INCLUDE $(GDAL_ROOT)\nmake.local
!ENDIF

# nmake -f makefile.vc EXT_NMAKE_OPT=mynmake.opt
!IFDEF EXT_NMAKE_OPT
!INCLUDE $(EXT_NMAKE_OPT)
!ENDIF

I believe this will serve both needs smoothly, albeit with a little
extra complication in the nmake.opt.

Best regards,
