FYI, our source code build docs suggest 'gmake' in a number of places
while 'make' would be used on other platforms. Should we change these
to just say 'make'? I think we suggested 'gmake' in the past because of
FreeBSD having BSD 'make' and requring GNU make.

FYI, I am going to change 'gmake' mentions in the docs to 'make', as I
think it meets the need of most of our users/developers.
