...and even better in some doc/README.??? so it is part of the source
code.

Extra code in the Makefile should not be needed any more.

Zero is an enigmatic value. It can mean success (fclose)  or  failure
(scanf).  It  can  mean  black  or  white. It can mean no permissions
(chmod) or all permissions (umask). It can mean now (setjmp) or later
(atexit). It can mean the beginning (lseek) or the end (read). It can
mean myself (getpgrp) or child (fork). It can mean  all  (kill's  1st
argument)  or  nothing  (kill's  2nd argument). It can mean `default'
(SIG_IGN) or `I don't care' (waitpid) or  `try  to  guess'  (strtol).
Indeed 0 lets you talk to God (setuid).
Verily is 0 all things to all people.
