I prefer having the LINKIT variable have the whole command, so that it
can be anything. Having it all in one line is a lot simpler. So I have
this now:
# If you are using Linux, you might want to use this to make vim the
# default vi editor, it will create a link from vi to Vim when doing
# "make install". An existing file will be overwritten!
# When not using it, some make programs can't handle an undefined $(LINKIT).
#LINKIT = ln -f -s $(DEST_BIN)/$(VIMTARGET) $(DESTDIR)/usr/bin/vi
LINKIT = @echo >/dev/null

He was not in the least bit scared to be mashed into a pulp
Or to have his eyes gouged out and his elbows broken;
To have his kneecaps split and his body burned away
And his limbs all hacked and mangled, brave Sir Robin.
