Excuse the previous version which wasn't complete (I just moved from a Unix
email client which maps ctrl-e to end of line to Eudora which maps it to
send message, oops).

Make is choking on some syntax I used to help simplify choosing between
file system and http file access.  You can try the following:

make METHOD_OBJS=`$(HTTP_OBJS)`

or if that doesn't work, you'll need to edit your makefile.  Modify the
line that says:

METHOD_OBJS=$($(METHOD)_OBJS)

to

METHOD_OBJS=$(HTTP_OBJS)

Also, I would like to ask for suggestions on how to deal with this.  It
seems that many Make's do not like the the multiple level macros.  Any
suggestions on other ways to do the same thing so that the method could be
used from the command line without resorting to the strange syntax I used
above?
