gnu make

In view of the make wars, I have to give a plug for GNUmake -- I've been
using it very successfully for several months on a number of different
machines and it's solved a multitude of problems when delivering multiple
targets with multiple C cross compilers on one machine.

I know nothing about nmake.  I've used various pdmakes, Microsoft make,
Aztec make, Minix make, sunos make, cake, etc.  

GNUmake definitely seems to accomplish what I want in the most natural way.
And it seems to eat most previously created makefiles and do reasonable
things with them.

In addition, gnumake has an excellent tutorial explaining practical
examples of how to use make, which features are extensions of gnumake, etc.

Sign me up another happy customer.

And the price is right.  And it seems far more supported than most
commercial products (bugs get fixed!).
