One of the objectives of this effort is to come up with a make that can
track the GNU releases fairly easily. I tried once to port make-3.62 to
Borland C. By the time I had it mostly working, it was barely
recognizable. I would not have wanted to apply an upgrade, and on the
other hand, I wouldn't want to be stuck forever with a version that
won't track new features. Another objective is to be able to run GNU,
X11, or whatever makefiles under go32, which I assume means keeping
"make" up to date.

Yet another objective is to develop at least the beginnings of a fork, etc.
set of services, so that the same stunts I'm pulling with "make" might be
applied to other software also.

So far, the mods required to the "make" sources have been minor, just a
handful of lines. But then, I'm not done yet. We'll see.
