I run djgpp's `make' in an NT DOS box, and when there's a valid makefile, it 
simply gives no output.  Basically a no-op, no pause.

Cygnus's make is just screwed -- I get "abnormal program termination".

ANYWAY, I'm trying to compile gnu emacs, and aside from the adventures of 
trying to chase down sed, then making .bat files for mv and rm, I find out 
that good ol DOS, 8.3 filenames, longer filenames than that in the source 
tree, well, you know what happens.  My question is, do I have to manually 
rename all the long files and edit the makefile to reflect them?  or if I use 
DJtar, will it compile okay somehow?
