checking for specific/minimal Make version in Make code?

[Stephan Beal]

Hi, all!

i've got some make code which requires 3.80+. Is there an in-make way
to be able to say "error out if Make < version XYZ" which will work in
older versions? That is, i need the check to work in older Makes, but
after the check succeeds i can safely assume a proper version (whereas
older versions will stop at the check and won't get to the
incompatible parts).

:-?
