I sort of suspect that the answer is actually "this will not work at all", but am not really equipped to verify that in the source. I've cc'd Simon Gerraty, since he has been doing a lot of work with make and bmake recently; if he doesn't reply/know, asking on the -hackers list might get better exposure. Simon: do we allow whitespace in target names in either fmake or bmake? If so, what are the escaping rules? Thanks, Ben
