Acutally it is pretty easy.

Try ``cc *.c */*.c'' and you will be told "DEFSHELL" must be defined to
"1" or "2".  Try ``cc -DDEFSHELL=1 *.c */*.c'' and make.h will not be
found.  So 1 minute of trying (w/o bothering to read the Makefile), one
has the proper command.

``cc -DDEFSHELL=1 -I. *.c */*.c'' is also something that is pretty easy
to post in an email message when people say they are having a problem.

"Go find a working X.Y machine and grab bits from that." isn't as easy.
