Found: a version of "make" that uses a MAKEPATH

This comes from the September, 1983 issue of
"Support and Update News for Users of UNIX[TM]
Systems", Western Electric UNIX Systems Support
Center, Lisle, IL, page 2.  The newsletter is marked
"Notice: not for use or disclosure ...".

Call #:101128 / CPU: ALL / Area: make
Problem: "make" has code that erroneously
recognizes VPATH environment variable; this
causes serious problems for programs that use
build.

My conclusion:  do not use undocumented features,
unless you intend to support them yourself!!
