different header file requirements are expected.
All of the Makefiles are generated automatically from the file
`Recipe' by the Perl script `mkfiles.pl'. Additions and corrections
to Recipe and the mkfiles.pl are much more useful than additions and
-corrections to the alternative Makefiles themselves.

Documentation (in various formats including Windows Help and Unix
`man' pages) is to be built from the Halibut (`.but') files in the
