Subject: Any objection to adding a .undef(VARNAME) to make?

The subject says it all..

I've long been bothered by bmake's inability to programmatically unset
a variable.  Assuming that nobody feels it to be too evil a hack to
live, are there any objections to using the keyword `.undef'?

Yes, it will make us non-standard, but we're essentially ALREADY
non-standard due to having a build system from hell that nobody else
is going to adopt without taking our make, too.
