 The current {{{kmk}}} code contains the following changes from [wiki:'GNU make']:
+ * Explicit multi-target rules, i.e. explicit make rules that output more than one file.
+ * Prepend assignment operator, {{{<=}}}.
+ * The special {{{.NOTPARALLEL}}} [wiki:goals goal] has been extended to be able to take a list of [wiki:goals] that must be executed without any parallel building going on. If no list is given, it will work like in vanilla [wiki:'GNU make'] which means the entire makefile will be executed without any parallel building. This extension is required to make the {{{-jN}}} argument useful in [wiki:kBuild].
  * It has some extra predefined variables: 
    * {{{KMK}}} (similar to {{{MAKE}}})

- * Prepend assignment operator, {{{<=}}}.
- * It contains bugfixes for several bugs in the Windows and OS/2 ports, most importantly path case mixups, broken shell invocation, and abspath.
- * It has several performance improvements with respect to the kind of work [wiki:kBuild kBuild] puts make thru. Most notably, keeping name and value lengths for variables and thereby skipping a lot of {{{strlen()}}} and being able to use {{{memcpy()}}} instead of {{{strcpy()}}}, and the variable append/prepend optimization ({{{+=}}} and {{{<=}}}). The latter was a major issue with the way [wiki:kBuild kBuild] is scripted.
  * A bunch of builtin utilities which will be invoked without spawning new process or shell. Most of these are taken from BSD.
