Perhaps just historic that they still use it;
before bmake & gmake & imake, the basic unix make was _basic_;
way back when (perhaps 7 or 10 years?) I remember thinking cake sounded
really nice, much time having passed, I don't know comparisons now,
but it could be that the BRL-CAD folk thought so too once, 
& then it just stayed ?
