You can NOT USE IT and keep strict compatibility, I can USE IT to make
mine easier to write and to read. It's a win win ( and will allow
xHarbour developers to test Harbour is they need ).

We've already discussed about hb*, but at the moment I don't see the
reason to swap worldwide well known standards like shell scripting and
gnu makefiles with a tool that only ONE developer knows and maintain.
I use many tools from google and yahoo in my makefiles and I don't see
how could I fit them in hbmk2 and surely you'll be not interested to
support them.

best regards,
Lorenzo
