We are pretty happy with PolyMake, a straightforward reimplementation of
Unix make.  It works quite reliably, and handles recursive makes and makes
of large makefiles with lots of dependencies quite well.  Earlier this year,
the authors noticed a horrible bug (it didn't detect failing commands right
and would plunge ahead heedless) and sent out free updates to all of their
customers.  Pretty decent.  I only called them for support once, but my
question was quickly and competently resolved.

From Polytron Corp., PO Box 787, Hillsboro OR 97123, 503-648-8595.  They
have been advertising a lot in the PC press lately.
