How quickly I forget. Thanks everyone for reminding me about gnu make. I had to
switch back because

PADI_HOME:sh = if [ $PADI_HOME ] ; then echo $PADI_HOME; else echo $PWD ; fi

works to conditionally set a variable in Sun make but not in gnu. Does anyone
know how to do an equivalent thing in gnu make?

Paul

PADI_HOME=$(shell if [ ....)

or something like that. 

I suspect, by the way, that the whole thing might be better written as 

PADI_HOME=$(shell ${PADI_HOME-$PWD})
