Hi all,
I reckoned the tail of the make --help output looked a bit wrong...
-----------snip!-----------
dk AT mace /artimi> make --help | tail -10
-w, --print-directory Print the current directory.
--no-print-directory Turn off -w, even if it was turned on implicitly.
-W FILE, --what-if=FILE, --new-file=FILE, --assume-new=FILE
Consider FILE to be infinitely new.
--warn-undefined-variables Warn when an undefined variable is referenced.
Run in UNIX mode (use sh.exe subshell).
Run in Win32 mode (use Win32 subshell).
This program built for i686-pc-cygwin
Report bugs to <bug-makePCYMTNQREAIYRgnu.org>
-----------snip!-----------
and it particularly hit home when I needed to know whether the w was capitalized
in --win32 or not (it isn't). Here's what surely counts as a trivial patch to fix
it:

CGF, you released the last version of make, and I can't see that there's likely
to be any great need to roll another in the foreseeable future, but maybe you'd
like to drop this into your personal source tree just in case sometime you do end
up doing another release?
cheers,
DaveK
