* Deprecate the FreeBSD make's ":U" (to-upper case) and ":L" (to-lower case) modifiers for ":tu" and ":tl". * make it easier to test newly-built make. * Add "-V '${VAR}'" variable expansion from Portable Berkeley Make. * regression test for '-V' command line option and the :t[lu] modifiers.

MFC r227121: make(1): obj dirs are physical paths so write `pwd -P`

rather than `pwd`. Regular pwd may return a pathname containing symlinks, but make does not use such pathnames.

Partial merge of man page cleanups from NetBSD:

revision 1.91 Fri Nov 7 01:01:46 2003 UTC by lukem Add some subsections in the VARIABLE ASSIGNMENTS section. In the "modifier description" list, show each modifier with the leading `:'. Rationale: it's hard to search for modifiers without it, and we already do the same thing in the -options and .makecommands lists. I now find it much easier to find the description for a modifier in the man page. Obtained from: NetBSD

Add ability to search up the directory hierarchy for the system directory.

Do by specifying ".../" with '-m' or MAKESYSPATH (new) environment variable. Reviewed by: Obtained from: NetBSD (+ embellishment by me, sent back to NetBSD)

Avoid infinite loops when remaking makefiles not only

2009-04-07T19:49:38Z

for Makefile targets but also for targets they depend on.

+ Add the -Q be-quiet flag for parallel jobs.

2009-01-03T10:14:01Z

- Enable -Q by default for the moment - there is something weird going on in the rescue build.

1. Add the ability to tweak the token output before targets in job mode.

2008-12-29T10:26:02Z

E.g., .MAKE.JOB.PREFIX=${.newline}---[${.MAKE.PID}] would produce ---[1234] target --- 2. Added ${.newline} as a simple means of being able to include '\n' in the assignment of .MAKE.JOB.PREFIX Obtained from: NetBSD

Fix up after last commit:
