I have 3.74, from the hobbes cdrom. That worked w/o having to compile my own.

There's a couple of different syntax for include-statements in makefiles.
I'm using that to support the WWW/Library/Implementation directory, rather
than rewrite the makefile. (That was because when I wrote that part of
the configure script, we were still maintaining the non-configure build
in parallel).
Anyway, it sounds like you're having trouble with sed or your shell.
What does config.log show?

that would be a bit of work, I think, since dmake isn't really compatible
with Unix make programs. You'd have to construct the dmakefile's from
scratch.
