Hi Noel,

yeah, I'm working on the version from the dev-tools/make-3.82-gbuild

        Nice :-)

properly beside the 'call touch as an inline' thing does not need to 
be windows specific. 

I've coded 2 variants, one general purpose and one specific to windows.
Because
(a) on Windows, I can implement "touch" using exactly one system call,

        Heh - systemcalls are ~free compared to forking I think - as Norbert
says I think you may end up with path problems.

(b) and because it's practice for some of the other optimisations I'd 
like to do :-)

        Fun :-)

True, which is why I coded the general purpose variant (largely borrowed 
from GNU touch)

        Incidentally, there is a remake.c (touch_file) method there already, I
guess if we split the innards of that out and re-used them then we'd at
least have this working for all the super-odd operating systems that
make supports: AIX, Amiga etc. ;-) prolly more likely to go up-stream
like that.

        I'm encouraged by Tor's 'file' find as well I guess.

        All the best,

                Michael.
