Subject:	Thanks! - help on GNU Make/MS C++

GNU Make is good of course, and if you can get it to work, maybe you
should stay with it.
    It's not something I use, but DMake has been highly recommended
(by its author, I believe :-) in the past.  It *is* highly
configurable (I figured that much out), so once you get it going you
can probably create configuration files that work almost
automatically across environments.
    Your mileage may vary, of course, and setting it up is
non-trivial, that's why I returned to GNU Make.  But the effort migth
be worth it if you're working in several wildly different environments
simultaneously (apparently that was the motivation for creating
DMake.)
    It's available at ftp://watmsg.uwaterloo.ca/pub/dmake/, according
to the readme.
