There are many clever things you can do with BSD make which make life
a lot easier (and don't hurt for job security).  Last time I tried to
do such with GNU make, it didn't work.  Many hours were spent trying
to get their macro system to generate rule contents, if not rules, in
useful ways, to no avail.
