I've had good experience with Polytron's PVCS, which is more or less a
reimplementation of rcs.  It works nicely.  I used it to control a project
with about 75,000 lines of source code and six people working on it at once.

Microsoft "make" is the worst excuse for a make program that I have ever seen.
It makes only one sequential pass through the makefile, which means that you
can't have very interesting dependencies.  I'd use the make that comes with
Turbo C, or else one of the free makes that has been floating around the BBS
world.  You can mix and match source control programs, compilers, and make
programs since they all use the same plain ASCII file formats.
