Hi,
    I need to write a borland makefile with a command like:

mytarget:
      echo #define HELLO $(HELLO_OPTION) >myfile.h

however, I've found that MAKE does not behaves as I need since it 
(correctly!) thinks that everything on the right of # is a comment... so 
my question is: how can I use the '#' symbol in makefile without having 
it recognized as a comment marker ?

Thanks indeed,
Francesco Montorsi
