Yes, this is a point indeed. At least because there is another tendency
amongst us, trying to keep both ADK in general and especially maintainer
stuff (e.g. package makefiles) as simple as possible. So highly
complicated, but as well portable makefiles are even worse than ones
with lots of requirements.

Hey, wouldn't this be an idea? I think checkouts won't increase
dramatically, and we can just remove it if GNU make 3.81 has become
standard.

This thread needs more opinions and dis-/aggreements!
