 A pedantic comment about the statement above:

   My interest is not in putting down Emake (whatever it is) or
   promoting Gnu Make; I just like things to be precise.  I do not
   think that you can claim Gnu Make compatibility if you are changing
   the interpretation (or syntax) of the Makefiles.

   If Emake changes the semantics of the interpretation of a Makefile,
   it is _not_ compatible with Gnu Make.

   The syntax might be outwardly compatible, but the semantics are
   not.

   Can you please be precise and say _how_ Emake is compatible with
   Gnu Make if the semantics are changed?
