You could test '$MAKE --help' at configure time, but the problem is, few

Ah, so there's no test that does this already?
I would imagine an AC_MAKE_GNU (or somesuch) that looks at make's help
output, then tries gmake (and gnumake?) if make is not GNU Make.
Oh, and I've just found "check_gnu_make.m4" in autoconf-archive.
That looks like what I want.
