cc35241a6e Automatically pass build through to gmake on BSD
Smarter BSDmakefile that automatically calls gmake to build the targets,
even including `-j` if provided. README.md can be simplified to remove
`gmake` references from build instructions for BSD users.

9fd16d730b Include make [test|all|install] in BSDmakefile
If a build takes a long time, it's entirely possible to run `gmake` and
then forget to use GNU make and run `make install` after.

5b61829a33 Emit error and GNU Make directions when compiled with BSD Make
On BSD platforms, a BSD-specific BSDmakefile is searched for and used
before any generic Makefile. We can use this to emit an informational
message directing the user to use GNU Make instead of relying on the
user's recognizing of random build failures on syntax errors as a sign
to switch to GNU Make.

(Random fact: this same trick also applies to GNU Make, which searches
for a GNUmakefile before using Makefile)
