Agreed this is a step backwards.  jmallett you should look at how NetBSD
can now bootstrap from a Solaris, Tru64, Linux, and even Cygwin(iirc)
environment.  Wasn't there an effort to sync our Make with NetBSD's?
Christos Zoulas @netbsd.org was the CSRG make(1) maintainer in the
Net/2-4.4BSD days.  So I trust his work on make today and feels he keeps
to the spirit of the code.
