Features of interest:
Allow setting target local variables (similar to gmake)
In META_MODE .MAKE.META.CMP_FILTER can be used for filtering commands
before comparion.
contrib/bmake/mk/cc-wrap.mk is an example of using these
See ChangeLog for the gory details.
Lots more unit tests and code cleanup
Relevant changes from ChangeLog
o job.c: Print -de error information when running multiple jobs
o var.c: only report error for unmatched regex subexpression
when linting (-dL) since we cannot tell when an unmatched
subexpression is an expected result.
reduce memory allocations in the modifiers ':D' and ':U'
reduce memory allocation and strlen calls in modifier ':from=to'
in the ':Q' modifier, only allocate memory if necessary
improve performance for LazyBuf
reduce debug logging and memory allocation for ${:U...}
reduce verbosity of the -dv debug logging for standard cases
fix double varname expansion in the variable modifier '::='
o var.c: avoid evaluating many modifiers in parse only mode
in strict mode (-dL) many variable references are parsed twice,
the first time just to report parse errors early, so we want to
avoid side effects and wasted effort to the extent possible.
Quite a lot of churn on style, but lots of
good work refactoring complicated functions
and lots more unit-tests.

Some interesting entries from ChangeLog
o .MAKE.{UID,GID} represent uid and gid running make.
o allow env var MAKE_OBJDIR_CHECK_WRITABLE=no to skip writable
checks in InitObjdir. Explicit .OBJDIR target always allows
read-only directory.
o add more unit tests for META MODE

o allow env var MAKE_OBJDIR_CHECK_WRITABLE=no to skip writable
checks in InitObjdir. Explicit .OBJDIR target always allows
read-only directory.
o Fix building and unit-tests on non-BSD.
o More code cleanup and refactoring.
o More unit tests
Lots of new unit-tests increase code coverage.
Lots of refactoring, cleanup and simlpification to reduce
code size.
Fixes for Bug 223564 and 245807
Updates to dirdeps.mk and meta2deps.py
Lots of code refactoring, simplification and cleanup.
Lots of new unit-tests providing much higher code coverage.

Other significant changes:
o new read-only variable .SHELL which provides the path of the shell
used to run scripts (as defined by the .SHELL target).
o new debug option -dl: LINT mode, does the equivalent of := for all
variable assignments so that file and line number are reported for
variable parse errors.
