There's no a big issue here.. it's just a kind of philosophical question.

I've notice that autosetup "./configure" will create a GNUmakefile instead
of a Makefile. In my OpenBSD system, bsd make doesn't use the GNUMake file
when I type "make". So if I type:

  # ./configure
  # make

It will use the orignal Makefile that still is on the repository. So it's
pretty easy here to be confused and someone can try to put special flag to
the ./configure call with no effect. So seing that.. I've delete the old
Makefile and type make again.. Bsd make doesn't use GNUmake file at all.. At
least, autosetup have create a BSD compatible make file (even if it's named
GNUmakefile). so I can type make -f GNUmakefile and it work fine..  just
confusing...

May be same kind of confusion may happens on other system.

I guess it would be less confusing to generate a makefile named "Makefile"
and may be rename the old static Makefile something else. Or may be someone
might have a better idea to remove the confusion.
