Can fmake be deleted?

[Warner Losh]

[picking a message at random to reply to]

I plan on removing WITHOUT_BMAKE and only supporting with bmake. I’ll leave it to others to deorbit fmake, but I think it is premature to delete just yet. I have partial patches to do this, that should be complete this week.

bmake and fmake are based on the make that appeared in 4.3 and 4.4 BSD and have evolved under separate lines for some time, with occasional cross pollination.
