Hi Chen,

Is it (or will it be) possible to rename MinGW make.exe to a name other than
> "make.exe" and use that name instead as your make program?

Good idea.

GNU-make is a black box to me yet, difficult to touch,
and internally it's somewhat clumsy, so all I can see
is that it has variable named "MK" which is probably what
you ask for. I couldn't find any initialization line for it,
but maybe simple envvar override works.

Tell us your experiences, if you've tried it.

[ Overall we can probably add some nice finishes
to GNU-make, there could also be room for some
cleanups (names, platform hacks, output cleanup),
but since this isn't the most trivial make setup (least
to say), and GNU make is already a non-forgiving beast,
I'll only dare to touch it once I have some closer
experiences and I use it regularly. ]

Brgds,
Viktor
