Something I am working on necessitates a very stripped-down version of
Telnet.  So, I got a copy of the telnet source from the free bsd-source,
and was planning on making modifications.  The problem is, how does one
re-make/re-compile it, if you are not making the whole distribution?
I read the readme's which indicate the Makefiles are in an odd format, 
but having little knowledge of makefiles, I don't know how to go about
just compiling it by itself.  If anyone could help me with this, I'd
much appreciate it..

Thanks
