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.

M(|is|r)s Schiffer, of course].
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).
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
- Add the .PHONY, .PARALLEL, and .WAIT directives
- Added the -B and -m commandline flags
- misc. man page cleanups
- numerous job-related enhancements
- removed unused header file (bit.h)
- add util.c for functions not found in other envs.
- and a few coordinated whitespace changes
Special thanks to Christos Zoulas <christos@netbsd.org>
for help in the merge. A 'diff -ur' between Net and
FreeBSD now only contains sccsid-related diffs. :)

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].
