  <shrugs>  I was proposing to take all those dos-path-handling gripes off
your shoulders.  If that seems like too much trouble, I don't need to.  remake
can install alongside standard make without any conflicts.  I don't see why
this should be inherently any more confusing than having both make and scons
in the distro; they're two separate packages with differing names and similar
functionality.

  Put it another way: what kind of confusion or other problem could you see
arising?  Perhaps I can think of a way to mitigate it.

    cheers,
      DaveK
