79c45f3bf9 Document the confusing behavior that the .if conditional defaults
to defined(), e.g., ``.if 1'' is equivalent to ``.if defined(1)'',
which is only true when the ${1} variable is defined.

acdb9a105e Add a -C ala GNU make(1) for Makefiles which are too lazy to use $(MAKE) and
this particular GNU flag.  It changes into the given directory for the
operation in question.  This just goes into said directory at the time of
parsing the argument for getopt(3).

28323ac07e Add :L and :U variable modifiers. These convert the variable's value to
all-lower or all-upper case characters, respectively.  These were added
to further reduce differences between NetBSD/OpenBSD and FreeBSD make(1)
to propagate OpenPackages.

2694d8d147 Add :C/// variable modifier, which is similar to :S/// in functionality
but allows for regex.  I removed NO_REGEX since no one could give a reason
to have it, and since we don't use make in bootstrap tools, it's not needed.

This is mostly added to synch up with NetBSD/OpenBSD so as to eliminate
roadblocks in the OpenPackages project (see http://www.openpackages.org/).
It's also quite useful, and costs us only about 3 kilobytes of space.

5335af7e73 s/with historical makefils//. Also, relocate and change the description
of VPATH to be a little sexier.  I'd say it looks a bit like Claudia
Schiffer now, which I consider a definate improvement.  We're also a little
more subtle about saying that VPATH is for backward(s) compatibility.

b97af31bdb Add a -E flag, similar to -e (overide variables from environment) except
that -E only operates for a specified variable.  Useful since the -e option
will often pull-in many unwanted variable overrides (esp. in a make world
situation).  Uses include overriding BINOWN (which cannot be done by normal
methods or through abuses of MAKEFLAGS) or likely for ports to honour CFLAGS
(provided they're running on a system whose make(1) has this option).
