make - using OpenBSD make

SYNOPSIS
     make [-f MAKEFILE]
       use bmake on linux. It's Slackbuild on Slackware.
       Slackware has a core package pmake which works as well (as far as I
     have tested).

DEFAULTS
	   makefile	    : if no makefile is specified with -f makefile it
			    defaults to makefile, Makefile.
	   target	    : defaults to the first defined target, unless
			    .MAIN: is specified.
	   echo		    : it echoes the command unless the command is
			    called @command.
	   errors	    : exits on error unless ignored by calling
			    -command.

MODIFIERS
	   :S		  : Substitute string :S/old/new/
	   :C		  : Substitute regex :C/pattern/replacement

USAGE
     target:
	     commands
     target! #run even when up-to-date
     target: prereq
     target1 target2:
	     @echo "this only displays this text but not the command itself."
	     -cat /tmp/file_that_does_not_exist
     VAR=something
     VAR_RES!=command result
     VAR_SUB=${VAR:S/STRING/REP/}
     VAR_REGSUB=${VAR:C/REGEX/REP/}
     target_show:
	     echo 'target name: ' ${@}

EXAMPLE
     t2:
	     -cat Makefile
     t1: t2
	     cat makefile
     makefile t3!
	     echo ${@}
     t4_t5:
	     @echo 'target: ' ${@}
	     @echo 'change t5 to t6: ' ${@:S/t5/t6/}
	     @echo 't4: ' ${@:C/_.*$//}
	     @echo 't5: ' ${@:C/^.*_//}
