	The problem of overwriting source files if the SCCS parent file
	was modified can be helped a great deal by changing the $(GET) lines
	in rules.c from:

	"\t$(GET) $(GFLAGS) -p $< > $*.c",

	to:

	"\t$(GET) $(GFLAGS) $<",

	and let 'get' check if the file is writable. I have done this and
	prefer it to the original.

	I have also modified 'make' to look for SCCS files in a
	./SCCS directory if it doesn't find them in the current
	directory (I like to keep SCCS files in a their own
	directory), and if anybody is interested, I will send
	them the changes or post them.
