make(1) manual page doesn't mention VPATH, which is specially processed
variable.
>How-To-Repeat:

Add approximatly following passage to "Additional inbuilt variables":
VPATH Column-separated (":") lists of directories that make will
search for files. The variable is supported for compatibility
with old makes ONLY, use .PATH instead.
