Hi Warren,

AFAIK, make world still works (least it did for me yesterday on a CURRENT
box) and don't see it becoming deprecated any time soon.

Honestly, I don't see how its confusing.  Perhaps if we discussed make world
throughout the entire document, but gave the commands for buildworld, that
would be a problem.  What do you think would be better in terms of 'more
descriptive'?

Thanks,
