From fb070464c1907bfea7c4f15fddf6c6c6f034042c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Lane Date: Fri, 9 Jun 2000 01:29:28 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] If we're gonna have people running make from the top directory now, we'd better have a Makefile here to prevent the mistake of using vannilla make instead of gmake.
