Hi,

is there a way to write portable Makefiles that can run with gmake or wmake?

I do not need any special features except for !include and !if.
Unfortunately the directive syntax for gmake is different in the way
that the ! has to be removed, while wmake and nmake need !include.

Sadly they use completely different styles of makefiles. For "portable
makefiles" there is/was imake.
