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.

3f3d0ec007 Correct the description of the MFLAGS and .MAKEFLAGS variables. Add
the MFLAGS target. Document that variable assignments from the MAKEFLAGS
environment variable and the .MAKEFLAGS and .MFLAGS target have the
same precedence as command line variable assignments.

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.

ebca193729 Remove the dependency of the :C/regexp/replacement/ variable modifier
from the :S modifier which follows a bit further below.  This way the

Use
  make -V .MAKEFILE_LIST | tr \  \\n | awk '$0==".." {l--; next} {l++; printf "%*s%s\n", l, " ", $0}'

faf94801fd - Cut out the code that caches the "." directory out of Dir_Init()
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
  parsed.  This makes the -C option DTRT.

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.
