Most Unixen: The make utility which comes with your operating system
should work fine. If you don't have one, GNU make is recommended,
most others (Sun, BSD, etc...) will work fine as well.

Windows: nmake or dmake will work. GNU make will *not*.

If all else fails there is a pure Perl version of make available on
CPAN which should work on most Unixen.

Covering the major portability flavors MakeMaker has to cover.
(See http://rt.cpan.org for a full list of open problems.)
-ActivePerl likely broken if installed in C:\Program Files or other
-prefix with a space in the name.
+Windows will likely be broken if Perl is installed in C:\Program Files or
+other prefix with a space in the name.
Using the MMS utility on VMS causes lots of extra newlines. Unknown
why this is so, might be a bug in MMS. Problem not seen with MMK.
-MacOS Classic is likely broken.
+GNU make does not work with MakeMaker on Windows.
-See TODO for details.
