I'm not quite clear on what make I should be using.  It will be
directing the compilation of non-Cygwin related c++ files.  The
compiler will be VC.  Everyone here can be expected to have Cygwin.
I'm using gnu make merely because it's a good tool.  The actual
compiling has nothing at all to do with Cygwin or gcc.  Cygwin is just
a provider of things like bash, sh and awk, as far as our development
process is concerned.

Knowing this, which make should I use, Mozila's gmake, the
Mingw32-built make you sent me, or the VC-built make you sent me?  or
something else?

Thank you for your help
