Make

Here is a makefile for Make that recursivly calls make on each subdirectory in a list

# make all directories
# if make finds the target it thinks it is up-to-date so
# each target is prefixed with a "_" this is then srtipped
# off by the tr command

$(DIRS) .MAKE .ALWAYS :
#following line starts with a tab character
cd `echo $@ | tr -d _` ; ${MAKE}
