aeb2a851ad Revise the manpage to a certain extent, mostly with respect to
make's processing of top-level and included makefiles.  Point
out at make.conf(5) and __MAKE_CONF when telling about sys.mk.

9c4e83a46c __MAKE_CONF doesn't really belong here because it is
a FreeBSD extension of sys.mk.  A xref to make.conf(5)
will be enough here.

51fb4c0273 Another shell attribute 'unsetenv' that will cause to unsetenv("ENV")
before executing the shell. Until now this was done when the default
shell was the ksh. This failed if the default shell was sh or csh and
the user switched to ksh.

b071ad2dca Fix quoting of the MAKEFLAGS environment variable by only quoting spaces
and tabs. This is still not correct for command line variable values
ending in a backslash because this would require a larger effort.
Document this limitation in the BUGS section of the man page. The
quoting is mostly compatible with that of gmake and smake.

8460583b9f Make explicit that MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX and MAKOBJDIR must be set
as environment variables and should not be set on make's command
line. They happen to work accidentially as command line variables
too when none of the sub-makes wants to play games with them (because
make is putting command line variables into the environment and will
find them there later on). Makefile.inc1 wants to change
MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX. In this case one cannot set it on the command line.

34c9c43931 Implement POSIX's '+' flag for command lines. This flag causes a line
to be executed even when -n is given on the command line to make. This is
very handy for calls to submakes.

This is slightly changed from the original patch as obtained from NetBSD.
The NetBSD variant prints lines which have both '+' and '@' when -n
is specified. The commited version always obeys '@'.

Bump MAKE_VERSION so Makefiles can use this conditionally.

e9345b8636 Make it clearer what means 'won't work' for .if string == ${VAR}.
Replace the use of '=' in conditionals in the examples
by the more correct '=='.

Clarify the example explaining that .for expansion takes place before
.if handling by showing the correct code instead of saying 'the other
way around'. Change a variable name there so the example is more parseable
to the human reader.

into a separate function, Dir_InitDot().

- Postpone the current and object directories detection (and caching
  of the "." directory) until after all command line arguments are
