RE: non-mandatory makefile include

[Rahul Jain]

Sorry, I forgot to elaborate that I don't want to force the user to add
options to the make command. Is there any simple way to do this or will I
need to add another makefile in between to call something like:
> make -include config.mk -f Makefile.real
?

Try "-include".

See the GNU make manual.
