easy, convenient dropping into DDB at the "root device: " prompt.
Useful if your console can't do it w/o actually taking an interrupt
and you want to, say, look at the boot messages.
normal target (the latter dependency being the reason why it's made),
the .MADE parent should not be put on the `toBeMade' list again (in
Make_Update()) since it was already put on it in Make_ExpandUse().
Doing so would cause the rules for the .MADE target to be executed
(at least) twice, and also mess up the unmade children count of _its_
parent, resulting in spurious graph cylce detection.
To achieve this, make sure the unmade children count of the .MADE target
is set to zero before enqueueing it on the `toBeMade' list in
Make_ExpandUse(). Then, in Make_Update(), check if the parent has the
.MADE attribute before diddling with the queue.
For the same reason the status of a node must not be set to UPTODATE
unconditionally in compat mode, since that will prevent the node from
being built even if it is the source of a normal target. Instead,
check both its state and the type of the parent to decide whether to
continue on behalf of the current parent.
- add support for passing variables to parselist.awk that are used to replace
text in each line of the lists. currently supported strings:

* There is no -indent option to .Bd or .Bl, although you would
never know that from its frequent use in this tree. There is a
"-offset indent" combination that makes sense, and you can certainly
say "-width indent".
* Also, you can't markup the -width option argument, tho you CAN
use a callable macro. So "-width Ar filename" doesn't make sense,
but either "-width Ar" or "-width filename" does, as might something
like "-width xxfilename" for a little extra space.
* There are a lot of needlessly complex hanging tag macros in man4 used
to create simple item lists. Those should be simplified one of these
days before someone copies and edits yet another man4 page.
actually generate hypertext links to the man pages, like they do
know when the pages themselves are formatted. The obvious problem
is that if you aren't a man page, you don't know where the man
pages are.
