This is the first step in making make(1) POSIX 1003.2
compliant.  I left this feature undocumented in the
manpage since POSIX specifies that CC=c89 and FC=fort77.
I suppose one could use it if they symlink'd cc -> c89
and fc -> fort77.

The bottom line is users beware if you intend to use
this feature it *will* not work without the symlinks
unless you happen to have named your C/Fortran compiler
according to the POSIX mandate.
