Listed all the environment variables (MACHINE and PWD were missing).

Documented PWD.  MACHINE and MAKEOBJDIR are are still undocumented
except in main.c.  I will be changing MAKEOBJDIR back to its old
behaviour so that the comment in main.c actually applies.

Removed irrelevant misformatted text about make's name being argv[0].
