| 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'

It has to do with GoldED swapping tabs and spaces (not sure which way)
Best to use emacs (obviously)
