Very glad to see a tutorial like this. Make is something I've used relentlessly because it just works, but I know I'm missing out a lot more that it can help with because of my feeling that the docs are inaccessible. Knowing that this is here waiting for the day when a project calls for something just a little more means I won't bloat out my development workflow. Something a little more friendly than the make docs themselves lowers the barrier for me, nice one! :)

> the docs are inaccessible

The GNU make documentation is excellent - some of the best technical writing I've come across.

Worth noting I stated "my feeling that the docs are inaccessible", not that I didn't think they're excellent docs.

I'm slightly lazy, so relish having something quick to get into :)
