Well, I don't know if anyone cares but here's a little test:
 echo 'all: ; +@: hi ' | make -n -f- 2>/dev/null
This will print both lines:
 echo hi
 hi
if make groks "+" properly, and either just "echo hi" or maybe nothing
(exiting with an error) if it doesn't.

The simplest answer would be to use $(MAKE) somewhere directly in the
command script, instead of hiding it inside MULTIDO; I suppose there's a
good reason to do that
