Build Commands with Non-PWB Projects

     For PWB projects, the Build and Rebuild All commands on the Project
     menu always build the 'all' pseudotarget. However, for non-PWB
     projects, the Rebuild, Rebuild All, and Build Target commands work
     slightly differently.
 
     If you have not yet used the Build Target command, the Build and
     Rebuild All commands do not pass a specific target to NMAKE. This
     causes NMAKE to build the first target in the makefile.
 
     When you use the Build Target command, PWB uses the specified
     targets for subsequent Build and Rebuild All commands. PWB does
     this by redefining the _pwbbuild and _pwbrebuild macros to pass the
     specified targets to NMAKE.
