You are absolutely correct Ben.  I was mistaken.  Apparently
while redhat does define the %{makeinstall} macro, it doesn't
define a %{make} macro.  Sorry about the confusion.  So,
unless you're building for Mandrake, just use plain "make".

 Those who are willing to sacrifice essential liberties for a little 
 order, will lose both and deserve neither.  --  Benjamin Franklin 

 History teaches that grave threats to liberty often come in times
 of urgency, when constitutional rights seem too extravagant to 
 endure.  --  Justice Thurgood Marshall, 1989
