System: NetBSD zorkmid.mit.edu 1.5E NetBSD 1.5E (ZORKMID-$Revision: 1.2 $) #54: Fri Aug 18 01:53:49 EDT 2000 jhawk@zorkmid.mit.edu:/usr/local/netbsd-current/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/ZORKMID i386


>Description:
	make(1) discussues ${.MAKE}, but not ${MAKE}.
Functionally, the two appear to be synonmyous. But within a tree,
such as ours, use needs to be consistent. It should be possible to do
things like:

	make MAKE=/usr/local/bin/pmake foobar

however if ${.MAKE} and ${MAKE} are set seperately, then
makefiles that use ${MAKE} will get pmake and ${.MAKE} will not.

This is undesirable.
>How-To-Repeat:
	
>Fix:
	1:	Please document ${MAKE}
	2:	Please document the preferred style for NetBSD makefiles
		(I presume ${MAKE} over ${.MAKE})
