Thank you. Some comments follow.

There is a newer version available. Could you provide it instead?

I tried to quickly update it (hash
"07n9avzdg6gifrzyddnyzada5s5rzklvbqfpv5drljpxcgpqpvwg") but there are
additional failing tests.

You need a single semicolon for end-of-line comments. Also (nitpick),
I find ";test during build" clearer.

See above for comment syntax.

I suggest:

    "bmake is a program designed to simplify the maintenance of other
    programs.  Its input is a list of specifications as to the files upon which
    programs and other files depend."

Could you send an updated patch?
