Since there seems to be so much interest in running FreeBSD
make(1) on other platforms, I've committed what I have done so
far to <http://hg.hellug.gr/bmake/gker>.  It's not a full port
of FreeBSD make(1) yet, but anyone interested to help is invited
to hop in and give me a hand :)

The main goal of this `project' is to have a fully buildable
version of FreeBSD make(1) on Linux and Solaris, so that one can
build FreeBSD-like makefiles by running:

	/usr/local/bin/bmake [ -f BSDmakefile ]
