Hi, this might be an odd request, but please consider it nevertheless. There is a very popular web comic involving the make command: http://xkcd.com/149/ It would not be useful, but entertaining, if the make command on Debian would behave like this. So I’m proposing the following behaviour: If make is run with the arguments "me a sandwich", and there is no target called "me", the error message is replaced by "What? Make it yourself.", if SUDO_COMMAND is unset, or "Okay." if that variable is set. I think this does not distrub any operations, as it only modifies the error message. If there is a target called "me", make should behave usual. If you would be willing to include such a "feature", I’ll provide a patch.
