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

#
# See also:
# cond-op-and.mk
# cond-op-not.mk
# cond-op-or.mk
# cond-op-parentheses.mk
# In make, && binds more tightly than ||, like in C.
# If make had the same precedence for both && and ||, like in the shell,
# the result would be different.
# If || were to bind more tightly than &&, the result would be different
# as well.
.if !(1 || 1 && 0)
. error
.endif
# If make were to interpret the && and || operators like the shell, the
# previous condition would be interpreted as:
.if (1 || 1) && 0
. error
.endif
# The precedence of the ! operator is different from C though. It has a
# lower precedence than the comparison operators. Negating a condition
# does not need parentheses.
#
# This kind of condition looks so unfamiliar that it doesn't occur in
# practice.
.if !"word" == "word"

# This is how the above condition is actually interpreted.

# TODO: Demonstrate that the precedence of the ! and == operators actually
# makes a difference. There is a simple example for sure, I just cannot
# wrap my head around it right now. See the truth table generator below
# for an example that doesn't require much thought.
# This condition is malformed because the '!' on the right-hand side must not
# appear unquoted. If any, it must be enclosed in quotes.
# In any case, it is not interpreted as a negation of an unquoted string.
# See CondParser_String.
.if "!word" == !word

# That's another opportunity for writing confusing code.

# As soon as the parser sees the '$', it knows that the condition will
# be malformed. Therefore there is no point in evaluating it.
#
# As of 2020-09-11, that part of the condition is evaluated nevertheless,
# since CondParser_Expr just requests the next token, without restricting
# the token to the expected tokens. If the parser were to restrict the
# valid follow tokens for the token "0" to those that can actually produce
# a correct condition (which in this case would be comparison operators,
# TOK_AND, TOK_OR or TOK_RPAREN), the variable expression would not have
# to be evaluated.
#
# This would add a good deal of complexity to the code though, for almost
# no benefit, especially since most expressions and conditions are side
# effect free.
