It's also a negative to install gmake on UNIX (and a real negative, in
my opinion, to install gmake on NT), but people seem to have
felt it was worth biting the bullet to gain the features.
The alternative to Perl is to write some C programs. If the scripts
are simple and there arent plans to add a bunch more, this may be the
most portable solution (though you still have to deal with the '/' vs
'\' difference somewhere).
