I would find it really handy if I could use the same makefiles
on DOS/DJGPP as I do on UNIX/SunOS at work.

The problem is that DJ's make utility seems to ignore the
SHELL=bash declaration and prevents me from using all of bash's
cool features.  It also makes it a royal pain converting UNIX
makefiles to DJGPP.

I presume there is a deep technical reason why this cannot be done?
