- They don't *manage* C applications. They facilitate builds. But I'd call it
- hopelessly naive to consider make and C particularly closely related. make is
- used to build documents from sources in nroff, TeX, or texinfo, make is
- used to build programs from sources in Pascal, Ada, C, C++, Fortran, and
- even sh. Make has nothing to do with C.
