#! /usr/sbin/smake

I just observed that if the above comment was put into a makefile,
in the first character, like a shell directive,
then when you type make, make will use that program to
process the makefile, instead of the default make.

This is a really useful feature. I never noticed it in the documentation.

In this way, my makefiles can know that they are to be processed
by , say pmake or smake instead of the default make.

Cheers!
