I'm not fond of those makefiles with cats and mv's or multiple commands 
seperated by a semi-colon - I use gnumake ...


I have dealt with the cat/mv stuff ok ...

But I hate having to play with the makefiles so much !
If the makfile supports __MSDOS__ (and it's a djgpp/GNU) program it would
be pleasant for me if I could compile with less pain ...

Is the newest version of make dealing with this ?
