Re: [Quilt-dev] Make problems with 0.43 and up

[Dustin Mitchell]

IMHO, supporting non-GNU versions shouldn't be necessary -- GNU make is 
available on most platforms, and quilt depends on lots of other GNU 
utilities.  However, make 3.79.1 seems to be the most common version -- 
it's in both RH8 and RH9, and apparently in Debian woody too -- so it's 
probably the oldest that's worth supporting.
