@sigmavirus24 you seem to have fallen off IRC, but I saw your comment and I renamed it to the non-special altermate Makefile name I added |
We can add various development activities to this alternate Makefile.
If you do this first:
```
ln {.,GNU}makefile
```
then you can use the new targets and the old ones without specifying the
`.makefile` in make commands and without worrying about bootstrap.
ie Before this, to use Makefile targets, you needed to run `./bootstrap`
and `./configure` first. This file will proxy all common Makefile
targets, first making sure that the Makefile exists.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Should we include distclean & distclean-local here?
I can include them on merge if you want.

You mean to proxy? I added my own .makefile distclean rule (line 60) because the Makefile distclean doesn't work.
So, no, I wouldn't proxy that rule until we fix it.

It also has development task targets that do not need any bootstrapping at all.
