Once you get right down to it, there really are not that mant diffs
between windows nmake and make. nmake comes with VC++ 4.x and 5.x.
The Tcl Blend project I am working on (quick plug, Tcl Blend is a
combo of Tcl + a JVM which uses JNI to script Java with Tcl code)
has both a unix makefile and a windows makefile.vc file. Perhaps it
would help if I posted them both so that you could compare the
unix makefile rules to the VC++ makefile rules side by side.
I kid you not, once you get the basic structure of your unix makefile
down it is easy to port it over to something that nmake will understand.
What you don't want to do is rely on the makefiles generated by VC++
as they are really ugly and hard to understand (big shock there!).
