2014-06-28 Thread Jonny Grant
Hello Paul Could the following change be added please. Rationale, on Windows makefiles often have this name for other "make" programs. In addition it is easier to associate with an editor because it has an extension. I am not a member of this list, so could I ask to keep my email address include
