Just to let people know, Jeremy Norris <ishmael27@home.com> came up
with a nice reminder that gmake looks for GNUmakefile before makefile
before Makefile, so I can now leave my pmake Makefile with its real
name.
Problem at hand solved; still wondering about how the generic
bsd.dep.mk situation could be improved though :)
G'luck,
Peter
