That's not precisely portable.

I'm not convinced mk(1) is less sucky than POSIX make(1),
but it may be less sucky than many make(1) implementations.
For example, make(1) doesn't need to know anything about
the shell's syntax, whereas it as to in mk(1), and if I
understood Greg's post correctly, it need has to understand
two different set of syntaxes: rc(1)'s and sh(1)'s. make(1)
only has too understand its own syntax, which is extremely
simple.
