   I'm having a couple of problems which I can't find in the FAQ:

   - My MAKE says 'missing separator' -or something- when processing the makefile. I 
   guess this must be a common problem, but it's not mentioned in any FAQ/doc.. Or is it? 
   Inserting ASCII-9's at places does the trick but is very inconvenient.

This is the only solution.  The defacto standard for make (UNIX make) requires
a tab character (ASCII 9) preceeding each dependent command.  Try another
editor which handles tabs correctly like TED, EMACS, ...
