Hi Warren,
AFAIK, make world still works (least it did for me yesterday on a CURRENT
box) and don't see it becoming deprecated any time soon.
Honestly, I don't see how its confusing. Perhaps if we discussed make world
throughout the entire document, but gave the commands for buildworld, that
would be a problem. What do you think would be better in terms of 'more
descriptive'?
Thanks,
