Comment (by egall@…):

 There are some things that could be done to make it clearer that the
 `gmake` port is GNU Make. First, while the `description` field in
 `gmake`'s portfile makes it clear that it is GNU Make, the
 `long_description` field does not do likewise. Second, the port could
 install a symlink to the `gmake` binary named "`gnumake`" so that one
 could just type `gnumake` to get the MacPorts `gnumake` instead of the
 Apple one. Also, while you're at it ("it" being making symlinks to the
 `gmake` binary), you could also make another symlink to `gmake` in
 `${prefix}/libexec/gnubin`, which is where a lot of other GNU tools put
 un-"g"-prefixed symlinks to their binaries.
