- bbmmaakkee is derived from NetBSD's make(1). It uses autoconf to facilitate
- portability to other platforms.
+ A bbmmaakkee command appeared in Version 7 AT&T UNIX. bbmmaakkee is derived from
+ NetBSD's make(1). It uses autoconf to facilitate portability to other
+ platforms.
+
+BBUUGGSS
+ The bbmmaakkee syntax is difficult to parse without actually acting of the
+ data. For instance finding the end of a variable use should involve
+ scanning each the modifiers using the correct terminator for each field.
+ In many places bbmmaakkee just counts {} and () in order to find the end of a
+ variable expansion.
+
+ There is no way of escaping a space character in a filename.
