EST_EXE <- OBJ*
OBJ <- CPP
{CPP,STATIC_DATA} <- NM_ASM
{CPP,CPP} <- ECPP (only first CPP must be further converted into NM_ASM)
NM_ASM <- CPP
{CPP,STATIC_DATA} <- STATIC_DATA*
STATIC_DATA <- NM_ASM
NM_OBJ <- NM_ASM
NM_EXE <- NM_OBJ*

As you see, NM_ASM type can be consumed by three generators, ad CPP can be 
consumed by two generators.
