	Setting "MAKE" as an environment variable prior to configure? 
I'm not sure I understand you -- do you mean making it point to the 
absolute path of the make binary I want to use?

	If so, I hadn't thought of that, either.  However, I will try to 
do that tomorrow.

	If you can get this working reliably on Sun Solaris, that will 
make it possible for you to get into most commercial shops.  HP-UX 
and Digital Unix/Tru64 are also commercially used, but much less so 
than Sun.  AIX seems to be a particularly weird puppy, and may take a 
lot more work to get functioning.

	Covering FreeBSD and the other members of the *BSD family will 
ensure that you should be able to work on virtually any freely 
available *nix operating system, and you may even be able to convince 
people to do a package for you, so that it becomes essentially 
trivially easy to install.

	I have a personal thing for MacOS X, which is why it made the list.  ;-)
