By far the best PC make I've come across is the shareware NDmake.
This package is 100% Unix compatable (except that it WILL accept 
spaces instead of tabs).  Best of all, it is smart enough to look
at the command line being passed to the compiler or linker and
create either a batch file or a submit file if the command line would
exceed DOS's limit of 128 characters.  The version I have is tuned to
Microsoft C and MASM but I'm sure he has versions for other compilers.

The product was written by D. G. Kneller and can be obtained from
most language-oriented BBS systems, by mail at

(the above from the .doc file in the product).  

The current version I have is NDmake45.  The registration fee is modest. 
I highly recommend this product.
