I still think that this is important enough to justify builtin support.
E.g., `make -P variable' could print make's idea of the value of `variable'.
Then `make -P .OBJDIR' would show where the obj dir is.

I miss the ability to build in ./obj when a (now invisible) external obj
dir exists.  ./obj should have priority if it exists, at least if the
MAKEOBJDIR environment variable is set to ./obj.  MAKEOBJDIR should give
an object directory, not the root of an object directory tree.
