Maybe a short message

   Generated a Makefile, which should be run with 'nmake' or 'dmake'
   or the pure Perl make.

would help.  Users can get confused about what program to run, if they
did not build perl themselves.

Or maybe some test at the top of the Makefile which bombs out with an
informative message if it detects you using GNU make when you
shouldn't be.
