One problem I've discovered is, when I edit a makefile with GoldED, 'make'
gives an error 'missing separator'. If I use emacs , it works fine. But
when I load this makefile to GoldED and save it unchanged, it becomes bigger
(in bytes) and 'make' brings that error :/
I guess the ' ' (I don't have the english word ATM, I mean that 'characters'
you do with the space-bar...;) are responsible.

Micha
