Yes, if it ain't broken, don't fix it. Especially since the Makefile's in lib-src and src are also based on an old version of Unix Makefile's, and so direct copy is not possible without also changing those two quite heavily. > Revamping the whole makefile stuff on Windows would be good, perhaps > (Eli has said several times that the MS-DOS method of generating the > makefiles from the generic unixy ones via sed could work). It would work, but it has a disadvantage of requiring Sed for building Emacs. We don't require that currently. > But it is quite a task waiting for a brave soul. And a rainy day ;-)
