from ChangeLog:
(most of this by rillig@)
o lots of style and white-space cleanup
o lots more unit tests for variable modifiers
o simplified description of some functions
o str.c: refactor Str_Match
o var.c: debugging output for :@
constify VarModify parameter
fix :hash modifier on 16-bit platforms
remove unnecessary forward declarations
refactor ApplyModifier_SysV to have less indentation
simplify code for :E and :R
clean up code for :H and :T
refactor ApplyModifiers
* var.c: we need stdint.h on some platforms to get uint32_t
* unit-test/Makefile: we need to supress the specific error
for RE substitution error in modmisc, since it varies accross
different OS.
Several misc cleanups, refactor main() to reduce size.
Adds -v option to always fully expand variables (only interesting to NetBSD)
And in particular (from ChangeLog):
o meta.c: ensure command output in meta file has ending newline
even when filemon not being used.
When matching ${.MAKE.META.IGNORE_PATTERNS} do not use
pathname via ':L' since any ':' in pathname breaks that.
Instead set a '${.p.}' to pathname in the target context and
use that.
