Thanks for the link, I'll check it out.  I have a new project at work which
will be developed under Linux, and I was hoping to write makefiles that
would work under both OSes using the same make command.  But now I'm not
so sure that will work.  I don't understand why BSD make and GNU make
diverged so much.

P.S.  Greg, my wife just bought me a homebrew kit for our 1-year
anniversary.  I found your homebrew pages (especially the BSD-based
temperature controller) quite enlightening.  :-)
