Yeah, I lost that battle.  I prefer, and carry around the sources to, a
make from Unix.  It's simple and does what I need.  But my guys convinced
me there was enough value in gmake that we used it.  I tried to keep
the craziness to a minimum.  And I think I succeeded, I can fix bugs in
that Makefile.
