I've got some makefile changes I have been tweaking about with, and some
minor modifications on kbd_tty.c (which need my makefile changes, I plan
to intergrate the changes into kbd_*.c) which I will submit for 0.88 so
I can backport my makefile mods into Martin's. I have made a "make
config" which effectivly calls a chunck of C after compiling it and asks
you questions and fprintf's a makefile. Hackery but easy. Again, I'll
intergrate it with Martin's for '88 if you want?

No idea about GNU make. It would be easy[1] to write a "makeless" make
system for systems without make. "make config" makes a shell script,
shell script checks modification dates, if files exist, etc. Easy once,
a bugger to do if you add/remove/change anything.... Anyone with any
thoughts? (There must be some other Open Source, Small, Dependancy
Related "make" system we can steal, anyone?)
