Add Makefile

Hi @SuperSandro2000,

I was going to take care of that but you did it first ^^. Allow me to comment on some suggestions.

• Could you include support for $(DESTDIR)? Those are used by packaging tools, allowing files to be installed in a relative path from PREFIX.
  Usually in makefiles, you would find:

PREFIX ?= /usr/local
mandir := $(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX)/man
man1dir := $(mandir)/man1
bindir := $(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX)/bin

• Could you not include test and install in the all target? By convention, make must only build and not require privileges (which install might depending on DESTDIR and PREFIX), ideally users do make && make test && sudo make install.
• Could you explicitly install mgitstatus with a 755 mode?
• Could you not add --no-print-directory, this is GNU make specific and users and tools might want/expect path to be printed.

The next two suggestions are just my preference so fell free to ignore those totally:

• You are not using any syntax specific to bash, so you could replace SHELL by /bin/sh to allow building on a wider set of systems.
• You don't need DEFAULT_GOAL if all is your first target in the makefile, which it is by convention.

Also, you didn't remove build.sla and install.sh.

I just copied that from my default Makefile.

Changed all the things you requested.

Thanks for the quick fix!

You are missing a .PHONY tag for the install target and then it should be good.

@lyknode Added that

Ah, we forgot the clean rule. Could you make it remove the generated manpage?

[SuperSandro2000]

The manpage is currently tracked in git and removing it would cause changes to the cwd.

When the manpage is converted to troff we don't need the generation or clean.

As per last comment on #38, the manpage would be removed and the markdown kept. But you are right, the clean target doesn't need to be added right now. It can be done afterward as the file is removed from the repo.
