Choice between gnu make and other like utilities

[Peng Yu]

Hi,

There are several supplements/replacements to make. Like "cook"
http://www.canb.auug.org.au/~millerp/cook/cook.html, "makemake"
http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=1&url=http%3A//www.fortran.com/makemake.perl&ei=t_XbQ4a8I4b-sgGYpoj_Ag&sig2=mNsG8neskwXrVofF0Ot6bw,
"makepp"
http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=1&url=http%3A//makepp.sourceforge.net/&ei=6fXbQ-q0LpGIsgG3-c3yBw&sig2=3tGerEEkdRYWfi0ueEQkFw
Maybe there are some others.

Do you know the pros and cons of them? Do you have any suggestions on
using them?

Thanks,
Peng
