My group uses probably a dozen different machines, most of which we do not have operational control over, and some of which have very strict limits on permanent file quotas, which would likely prohibit keeping the executable around. So we just use lowest common denominator 'make' at present, which is a royal pain. My question is will there be any standardization in the (near?) future on 'make' implementations in things like SysV.4, 4.4BSD, etc. which have "enhanced functionality", a la Sun or GNU, or mk, or any of the millions of make improvemnts out there? I don't want to hear all about the improved makes -- I've already looked into a lot of them. I just want to find out if any of them will become more prevalent due to their use in major new OS releases.
