I'm essentially done porting the latest GNU Make 3.75 to DJGPP.  A 
precompiled binary is available at this URL:

	ftp://is.elta.co.il/pub/make-375.exe

Please give it a good test ride, especially if you work on Windows 95 
and/or use non-default shells (such as [4N]DOS or unixy shells) 
extensively, since these are less tested by me.  If I don't hear any 
problems, I'll upload the source distribution to DJ's server in about a 
week from now.

Features:

	- Full support of LFN.
	- Supports both DOS shells (COMMAND.COM, [4N]DOS.COM) and unixy 
shells (tested with ms_sh).
	- Uses `system' for commands that require the shell, so you can 
have both pipes/redirection and long command lines when your shell is 
COMMAND.COM.
	- If the Makefile says "SHELL=/bin/sh", Make looks for the basename
of the shell ("sh" here) with the usual executable extensions, both in 
"/bin" and on the $PATH.

There are numerous other improvements (I will mail the full list when I 
upload the archive).
