While resyncing cws_src680_dmake411 to m230 I found that dmake was ported to
OS2. Great, but unfortunately I found several issues with the changes that
where committed.

* C++ style comments. dmake is pure C, please refrain from using C++ comments.

* The change to Append_line() that converts whitespaces to newlines breaks
  seems to be rather OOo build specific - $(mktmp ..) is not only used to
  generate response files.
  Beside that it also breaks the group shell functionality of dmake and
  therefore should be solved differently. (Yes, I know it only breaks the OS2
  version of dmake.)
  The cleanest way to get the whitespace to newline transformation is either
  to use the :m modifier when constructing the response file, i.e. like this:

      MYRSPFILE := command1\ncommand2\ncommand3
      someprog $(mktmp $(MYRSPFILE:m)

  or to add a new control macro that allows for this behavior to be switched
  on or of, see OOODMAKEMODE for an example how this is done.

* The change to Create_temp() is also not completely right, DirSepStr should
  have been used, but this is an old bug.

* Several macro definitions are commented out. If they are unneeded they
  should be removed.

* Is it true that the OS2 (EMX) command line is only 8192 and that there is
  a process limit of 16? I ask because the change in unix/ruletab.c looks
  unneeded.

* Why is CacheStat() disabled, i.e. defined to really_dostat()? The CacheStat()
  function in unix/dcache.c should work, or be easily portable. If you do not
  want to use the directory cache you can always set .DIRCACHE=n in your
  startup file.

* No documentation was changed. If features are changed this has to be
  documented in the man page. ChangeLog and NEWS file are also nice.

I will back out the questionable changes again in cws_src680_dmake411, please
file issues to me (vq) or hjs if I break something by taking out the changes.
