It always kind of bugged me that a simple make invocation didn't print the hint to read the README. With this patch applied, the message is always printed. bmake got problems when invoked with an argument, but that's nothing the old implementation prevented either, so everything stays the same. Amusingly, smaller make implementations (e.g. smake) don't have problems with that, I guess that's the curse of IB :-)
Anyways, I just think this patch adds convenience and if we keep the Makefile around, why not make it work properly?
