Thank you very much for your suggestions. This is unhelpful because we are not
``allowed'' to use opensource tools for which already exists in the platform.
Since make already exists on HPUX, I cannot convince them to switch to GNU
make since, our other applications are written specifically for HPUX make. 

On that note, if someone could outline, in plain english, what the makefile is
doing (when it descends into each directory) I will rewrite the makefile for
the toolkit. This should be no problem to write, except that decyphering the
./configure made makefile's is like trying to find a needle in several
haystacks.
