It would break any makefile that needed a literal "$" in the
prerequisites list. Whether that is significant or not I don't know.
It seems unlikely but then again make runs on lots of different
platforms, and works with programs that have lots of different naming
conventions.

I send messages to this effect at least once a month. If you were
subscribed to any of the GNU make mailing lists, or looked through any
of the mailing list archives, you'd certainly have seen them. I know
you're not subscribed because I'm continually having to approve your
posts to the lists...
I'm sorry your mail got lost in the shuffle and not replied to. I try
to respond to everything but sometimes it happens.
