Ticket #595:
Translating with makefile and build-dir

When translating with the -makefile flag and the -build-dir flag, the makefile is written into the build-dir. However, the help string does not reflect the directory:
To build your project, type make -f my_app.mak
It should say:
To build your project, type make -C my_build_dir -f my_app.mak
I think Watcom's wmake also uses the -C flag to change the directory.

Watcom C doesn't use -C to change directories and it has no equivalent command which accounts for some of the differences between the way the GNU and Watcom makefiles are written.

So we have two separate bugs? That gnu make doesn't report the -C option and that we don't report "cd into <dir> and type wmake -f " for watcom's make?
Or is watcom's makefile dumped in the current dir, and thus different from the buildsys process for gnu make?

In Windows, the translator puts the make file into the build directory. Just like on UNIX.
The message can instead say, "To build your project, change directory to my_build_dir and type wmake -f my_app.mak"
