Our real Makefile is call GNUmakefile and the Makefile has just an error
message that you have to use GNU make, cuz let me cite "If no -f option is
present, make will  look for the makefiles GNUmakefile, makefile, and
Makefile, in that order."

And if no GNUmakefile is found we can give the user the choice of starting
configure for him/her.
