Thanks for the post Paul. I may be remembering it incorrectly,
but your post does help me.
Thanks,

You must have been imagining things :-)
This is not, and never has been supported. At least, not in GNU make.
Makefiles must contain make syntax. They cannot contain shell
functions.
I mean, I guess you could do something like this:
defineDoThis = function DoThis() { echo $0; }
all:
$(defineDoThis); DoThis "Test"
but I doubt that's what you're looking for.
