I was being nice.

Most Linux systems don't have bmake or pmake or xmake or foomake
installed.  But they've got GNU make.  So does (as far as I can see)
Solaris, and it's available on pretty much every system.  I can't be
arsed to type 'gmake' all the time when I'm testing, and it irritates the
hell out of me writing GNUmakefile's because of its shortcomings, so I
just write bmake Makefiles and let my scripts do the ugly stuff.
