The problem with makefiles is that they use tabs as separators. Up to
GoldEd 6 the editor did not save tabs, it converted them to spaces while
writing, basically destroying the makefile. The current versions do not
have any problems with makefiles.

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
