I'm concerned that typing 'make' on obscure platforms builds subtly broken binaries. For example, on Solaris, it'll build one which truncates your passwords to 8 characters.
I propose that we whitelist platforms where the default Makefile is known to work, and force the use of ./configure for all other platforms. Here's an example change to the build system which only allows Linux and Mac OS X to use the default Makefile: http://fossil-scm.org/index.html/info/14d1e44957 I have also corrected the documentation. Suggesting people type "./configure; make" will just use the default Makefile on the platforms where it really matters! You need to use the explicit "./configure; make -f GNUmakefile" to pick up the autosetup generated Makefile.
