[gnu.utils.bug] GNU Make remote stuff

What is remote-customs.c?  Where is customs.h?  Should anything be in
the Info docs?  Is this stuff supposed to work?  And what about Naomi?

That file is for making GNU Make talk to the `customs' daemon, by Adam de Boor
and distributed with PMake.  customs.h, and customslib.o (also required) come
from the customs distribution.

> Should anything be in the Info docs?

No.  The customs daemon is not my invention or my problem.  I wrote that file
because I thought it might be useful to me (since I had the customs daemon),
but it is not at all supported (to the extent to which any GNU software is
supported).

> Is this stuff supposed to work?

Well, maybe.  I haven't tried it in quite a while.  It sort of worked last time
I tried it, but since I'm not using it now, it must not have been very
reliable.  If you get it up and running and wonderful, great!

> And what about Naomi?

She fell in too.
