Mkovmake is an optimizing overlay makefile generator--
in other words, you use it in the Makefile of a large
program that you are trying to make, and it generates
base and overlay definitions and an ld command that
would correctly load the object modules. This avoids
incessant calculations of module sizes each time sources
are changed, and allows large programs to be easily put
together on a PDP-11. It is designed to allow varying
levels of user participation in case the user can
optimize better than mkovmake's static algorithm.

Try it out; the man page even has examples.
