Re: an angry rant about *BSD Make

Quoth Ingo Schwarze:
Regarding your question how make(1) disambiguates:
 .SUFFIXES: .me.in .me
 .me.in.me:

means "transform .me.in -> .me"

 .SUFFIXES: .me .in.me
 .me.in.me:

means "transform .me -> .in.me"

How widely implemented is that?  As far as POSIX is concerned, the 
suffixes just aren’t allowed to contain periods themselves.
