Differences between PW make & original make:
- If exit status is ignored for an executed command,
a warning is not printed if the command returns a non-zero status.
The original prints such a warning.
- When the command is printed prior to execution,
the command name is prefixed with ">"; this makes the commands stand out.
- Has builtin suffix rules for LEAP script .t-.o files, and .z-.h files.
- After reading internal "makerules" file,
but before reading the local "makefile" file,
PW version reads "makecomm"/"Makecomm"in login directory,
and then in local directory.
"makecomm" is useful for defining "common" macro names.
- PW version exec's commands by using pexec(), which uses the .path file.
