Well, this (and probably other dwm stuff) is initially from me, and
I don't think it's eye candy. I prefer to see every single command
run from make, with all arguments, and not just some

        CC foo.c

To be exact, Makefiles with lots of commands shielded by @ are
highly suspicious, and the dwm Makefile seems to be tuned for a
"nice" output instead of just doing its job.

But it's Jims port, it's late here, and I need some zzz, so just read
this mail as what it is -- a late night rant after a long day ;-)

Ciao,
        Kili

ps: I'm aware that the dwm Makefile dumps CC, CFLAGS and LDFLAGS to
stdout (in the options target), but it's still stupid.
