All,

  Well, I've dilligently checked my 386BSD source tree into RCS and quickly 
found out that BSD make doesn't grok RCS files automagically like GNU make.
I'd really like to use the standard BSD make rather than GNU make (I don't
want to have to edit up all the makefiles).  Can anyone offer some suggestions
before I start digging into the make rule syntax and start writing rules 
for RCS sources.  Surely SOMEONE has dealt with this problem before?

Thanks in advance for any help provided.
