I've added an alternate build mechanism, which uses GNU make (maybe
other, but not tested). The main features are:
1. It allows building in a separate directory from the source.
2. It allows the use of a read-only source directory (although write
permission is required to generate the makefiles).
3. It's significantly simpler than the existing mechanism.
Usage instructions are in the file mk/README.
The existing build mechanism should be unaffected.
There is one feature regarding the use of yacc which could use further
testing. In order to allow y.tab.[ch] to be generated in the build
directory, I invoke yacc as:
$(YACC) -b $(OBJARCH)/y -d foo.y
This works with both "bison -y" and Berkeley yacc, but I'm unsure
about other versions of yacc.
