I'm running GNU make 3.62.
It would be real nice if you could specify the number of job slots
via an internal Makefile variable. i.e. In Makefile setting "JOBSLOTS = 4"
would be equivilant to running "make -j 4". The same for the -l switch.
Also, having an "else if" conditional key word would greatly simplify
nested conditional "if" statements.
Another good idea would be to have operators for conditionals. Such
as:
ifdef HAVE_CURSES && ifdef HAVE_TERMCAP
libs = -ltermcap -lcurses
endif
and
if OSVERSION < 411
missing = strerror.o
endif
Basically, the full range of "standard" CPP syntax is what I'm
suggesting.
