okay i have this little trouble with my makefile, which I hope people 
will be able to help me with.

i have defined a variable called RELEASE like this:

RELEASE=n

which is then checked against to set some flags so that the program will 
compile either as a RELEASE program or a DEBUG program:

ifeq ($(RELEASE),y) then
# define release variables
else
# define debug variables
endif

NOW, i want to be able to change this variable without coming into the 
makefile everytime i want to switch the mode of the program.

MAKE allows me to change variables via the command line like this:

make RELEASE='y'

but for some reason, this still compiles as a DEBUG program.

anyways its not that important, just a hassle to change everytime... so 
any help is appreciated.
