From what I've seen it seems to be a great utility for use specifically
with EMX, since I don't think anyone can figure out which flags to use.

However, anyone who is comfortable with creating makefiles has quite a bit
of choice. I've been trying to familiarise myself with DMAKE for quite some
time, and that seems to be a very powerful and configurable make program It
is available on a large number of platforms, although I don't know anyone
who uses it personally, but could do with swapping a few tips...

If you are familiar with MAKE, have a look at DMAKE, and see what you think
of it... It could really do with a good help file and/or tutorial.
