Here's an updated version of the workaround that works properly in all
cases and installs bmake as make and links make to pmake when
WITH_BMAKE=yes, and installs make as make when WITHOUT_BMAKE is
specified (this works better than the previous patch I sent to Simon).

The point of the patch isn't to discourage bmake use; in fact this
encourages bmake use more because I'm able to use bmake as my system
make, but be able to fall back to pmake as needed.

Thanks!
