[fpc-devel]Makefile layout

[Sergey Korshunoff]

Hi!
Why Makefile's in a FPC tree have so agly layout?
For example:

ifndef ECHO
ECHO:=$(strip $(wildcard $(addsuffix /gecho$(SRCEXEEXT),$(SEARCHPATH))))
ifeq ($(ECHO),)
ECHO:=$(strip $(wildcard $(addsuffix /echo$(SRCEXEEXT),$(SEARCHPATH))))
ifeq ($(ECHO),)
ECHO=echo
else
ECHO:=$(firstword $(ECHO))
endif
else
ECHO:=$(firstword $(ECHO))
endif
endif
export ECHO

The following layout is more nicer (in my opinion):
ifndef ECHO
  ECHO:=$(strip $(wildcard $(addsuffix /gecho$(SRCEXEEXT),$(SEARCHPATH))))
  ifeq ($(ECHO),)
    ECHO:=$(strip $(wildcard $(addsuffix /echo$(SRCEXEEXT),$(SEARCHPATH))))
    ifeq ($(ECHO),)
      ECHO=echo
    else
      ECHO:=$(firstword $(ECHO))
    endif
  else
    ECHO:=$(firstword $(ECHO))
  endif
endif
export ECHO

There was no problems under Linux and Windows with new layout.
I change fpcmake to keep comments and spaces from Makefile.fpc
and template.  No problems again. And Makefile's looks much nicer.

Can you give any comments?
