setting makefile-mode for specific filenames

[Noel Yap]

I would like emacs to use makefile-mode for specific
filenames (eg "mymakefile").  I've been able to do it
for filenames ending with "mymakefile" with:

  (setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("mymakefile$" .
makefile-mode) auto-mode-alist))
but I haven't been able to get an exact match with:

  (setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("^mymakefile$" .
makefile-mode) auto-mode-alist))

Does anyone have any idea why this doesn't work and
what I should do?

Thanks,
Noel
