ending in a backslash because this would require a larger effort.
Document this limitation in the BUGS section of the man page. The

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.

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.

Replace the use of '=' in conditionals in the examples

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.
