 At first, I was pretty opposed to this change because I like make more than
shell :-)

 However, it also fixes another issue: make printvars prints a lot of errors in
addition to the real thing, because it evaluates all those $(shell ...)
variables while the programs they call or not defined yet.

 But for that, a lot more needs to be changed. So I've taken this over and
posted a patch series [1] that removes all the $(shell ...) calls.
