the .DOTLAST primitive by a boolean variable with the same name, this whole
mechanism was broken ... it doesn't save much stat calls but it was wrong.
Thanks to Jason Thorpe for the other shadow-variable fixing patches he
made.
the true result works. for some reason the false result doesn't, even
though make -dv shows it being set as the result. (blah!)

We now just list the names of such variables in .MAKEOVERRIDES.
When we come to export MAKEFLAGS we quote the value of each exported variable
using :Q, using: ${.MAKEOVERRIDES:O:u:@v@$v=${$v:Q}@}
The :O:u suppresses duplicate names.
Also modifed Parse_DoVar to re-export MAKEFLAGS whenever .MAKEOVERRIDES
is assigned to so .MAKEOVERRIDES+= PATH will export PATH=${PATH:Q}
to the environment, while .MAKEOVERRIDES= will disable export of VAR_CMD's.
From Var_Set: We actually want the equivalent of
.MAKEOVERRIDES:= ${.MAKEOVERRIDES:Nname=*} name='val'
clearing the previous value for name is important, since
doing simple duplicate suppression does not handle:
$ make FOO=goo
which then runs a sub-make with FOO=boo
the commands from that sub-make should see just FOO=boo.
via MAKEFLAGS. Instead of appending them directly to .MAKEFLAGS, put
them in .MAKEOVERRIDES (and ensure they are quoted). This is now done
in Var_Set when it exports VAR_CMD's.
Use ExportMAKEFLAGS() to export MAKEFLAGS, using the combined content
of .MAKEFLAGS and .MAKEOVERRIDES (with duplicate supression).
If .MAKEFLAGS is assigned to in a Makefile, ExportMAKEFLAGS is called again.
This allows a line like:
.MAKEOVERRIDES=
to effectively stop the exporting of the command line vars in MAKEFLAGS.
1. make -dx turns on DEBUG_SHELL which causes sh -x to be used where
possible.
2. PrintOnError() is now called when make is stopping due to an error.
This routine reports the curdir and the value of any variables listed
in MAKE_PRINT_VAR_ON_ERROR.
3. Variables set via command line, are propagated to child-makes via
MAKEFLAGS. This behaviour appears to be necessary for POSIX (according
to the GNU folk anyway).
4. Do not reset MAKEFILE when reading ".depend" as this rather eliminates the
usefulness of ${MAKEFILE}.
5. Added ${.newline} as a simple means of being able to include \n in the
result of a :@ loop expansion.
6. Set ${MAKE_VERSION} if defined. Need to come up with a useful value.

To avoid that, we now do ::[+?!]*= but the SysV = modifier can
conflict with any new modifier. At there are currently no Makefiles
in our tree that use ${FOO::=bar}
problems such as using modifiers on .for loop iterators derived from
local variables (eg .TARGET).
Unless the variable already exists in a global context, these assignments are
local to the current context (this is usually what is wanted).
These allow some very useful magic in the makefiles.
The comment in var.c describing their behaviour is mostly lifted
from ODE make, but the implementation of the modifiers themselves
is quite different (much simpler) due to divergence of our code base.
can (i.e., everything except environment variables, which aren't
stored in hash tables).
While we're here, inline the body of VarDelete into Var_Delete since
it's the only caller and it's just simpler that way when v->name can
share storage with the hash entry and may not need to be freed
separately.

Unfortunately this revealed a deeper problem with the brk_string code.
To fix it:
- remove sharing of the buffer between brk_string invocations
- change the semantics of brk_string so that the argument array
starts with 0, and return the buffer where the strings are
stored
