dnl @synopsis CHECK_GNU_MAKE()
dnl
dnl This macro searches for a GNU version of make. If a match is found,
dnl the makefile variable `ifGNUmake' is set to the empty string,
dnl otherwise it is set to "#". This is useful for including a special
dnl features in a Makefile, which cannot be handled by other versions
dnl of make. The variable _cv_gnu_make_command is set to the command to
dnl invoke GNU make if it exists, the empty string otherwise.
dnl
dnl Here is an example of its use:
dnl
dnl Makefile.in might contain:
dnl
dnl     # A failsafe way of putting a dependency rule into a makefile
dnl     $(DEPEND):
dnl             $(CC) -MM $(srcdir)/*.c > $(DEPEND)
dnl
dnl     @ifGNUmake@ ifeq ($(DEPEND),$(wildcard $(DEPEND)))
dnl     @ifGNUmake@ include $(DEPEND)
dnl     @ifGNUmake@ endif
dnl
dnl Then configure.in would normally contain:
dnl
dnl     CHECK_GNU_MAKE()
dnl     AC_OUTPUT(Makefile)
dnl
dnl Then perhaps to cause gnu make to override any other make, we could
dnl do something like this (note that GNU make always looks for
dnl GNUmakefile first):
dnl
dnl     if  ! test x$_cv_gnu_make_command = x ; then
dnl             mv Makefile GNUmakefile
dnl             echo .DEFAULT: > Makefile ;
dnl             echo \  $_cv_gnu_make_command \$@ >> Makefile;
dnl     fi
dnl
dnl Then, if any (well almost any) other make is called, and GNU make
dnl also exists, then the other make wraps the GNU make.
