Any considered opinions on this ? http://www.pcug.org.au/~millerp/rmch/recu-make-cons-harm.html I've set up a freebsd-style make system for our project which is blazingly fast on freebsd (and solaris), but sucks lemons on NT (mostly because of Cygwin fork+exec). Anyhow I've taken a lot of heat as a result of this paper, from people who are more talk and less action than myself.
