title: makefile extension
body: <p>I'm writing a C program using gcc in cygwin. My question is, how do you create a makefile? I mean, what file-extension does it have? I know how to write simple rules, but I can't save a file in the text-editor with the right extension?
  Impossible to find any info about this...
  This is prolly a super-newbie question. So let the flaming begin. :-P</p>
