.if is an internal make thing. In this case it is all about
conditionally defining a make target.
@if is two things: @ -- meaning "don't echo this command" and "if"
which is plain old Bourne Shell code. It's part of the action of
the target.
If you define XORG_UPGRADE in the environment while attempting your
recursive fetch, it should work.
Cheers,
Matthew
