RE: if-conditionals

[Alexander.Farber]

May I ask a question: don't you think that OR-conditionals 
and more string-massaging builtin functions do belong into 
gmake (instead of $(shell) hacks), since it already spends 
some effort on parsing/massaging text.

And why didn't you use lex/yacc for the parser?
That would help adding missing functions.

I'm just curious, don't want to annoy anyone.
