On the NCR Tower32 that I do program develpment on, /bin/make has a very convenient feature: if a file needs to be checked out of SCCS and the make variable RELEASE is defined, the file is checked out using get -t -r$(RELEASE) s.file instead of get s.file This is particularly important when the Makefile itself needs to be checked out of SCCS, and helps tremendously when writing makefiles to update multiple versions of a program from a single SCCS source tree. I'm not sure whether this feature is a standerd part of System V make, but it seems to me that adding it to GNU Make would be a good idea.
