I finally figured out what was causing the Make problems, by comparing a 
Makefile from ~4Dgifts with the problem one.  Apparently on some systems it
is NOT necessary to explicitly specify SHELL=/bin/sh, that being taken as a
given.  Irix *seems* to require this, or at least it generally works if I
include it.  Unless of course I need the BSD-flavor install.  The real 
problem is that there are (at least) two main kinds of unix and whatever it
is that you need was written for the other one, no matter which one it is that
you have.
