Hi Franz, and thanks for your prompt reply despite some harsh
words and insults against me in your mail.

I respect your decision not to include the patch. I won't try
to convince you (or anyone else) in this subject again. (Expect
more from me in other areas though... :)

I know I have little knowledge of cromwell internals. But I'm
learning. The reason I wrote the Makefile was mainly to
make it easier to build and rebuild (in my case, build at all
since it didn't work). And since the Makefile was broken (`all: clean'
is broken!), I restructured it. Maybe the unmodified cromwell
didn't build because I was using gcc 3.3, but that's another story...

However, I must interpret your email as saying that cromwell
most likely cannot (and will not) be improved by anyone else
but you or Edgar.

You suggested that there were many areas of cromwell that I could
work on. But I see no point in improving/fixing these parts of
cromwell since you so blatantly rejected these simple Makefile
modifications. Somehow I have the feeling that other changes would
be rejected as well, in the same way. One would believe that if any
changes were simple and safe to apply, it would be those made to
makefiles/the build system. But I understand that's not the case
now.
