Install the port of Bash and auxiliary utilities (Fileutils,
Textutils, Sh-utils, Grep, Sed, Gawk), and the Makefile's will begin
to work.  Just make sure every Makefile says "SHELL = /bin/sh"
somewhere.  This is all explained in the README.DOS file which comes
with the DJGPP port of GNU Make, btw.

The ports of Bash and the other utilities are available from the v2gnu
directory on usual DJGPP sites.
