539f513773 Fix for bug #1276: Handle SHELL according to POSIX requirements.
POSIX requires that the value of SHELL in the makefile NOT be exported
to sub-commands.  Instead, the value in the environment when make was
invoked should be passed to the environment of sub-commands.  Note that
make still uses SHELL to _run_ sub-commands; it just doesn't change the
value of the SHELL variable in the environment of sub-commands.

As an extension to POSIX, if the makefile explicitly exports SHELL then
GNU make _will_ use it in the environment of sub-commands.

2b3ee46f4e Enhancements to the documentation (fixes bugs #1772 and 4898).
Add "!" to the list of shell escape characters: POSIX sh allows it to be
used to negate the return value of the command.

76f034acaa Added MINGW32 changes.
This commits a number of changes from Earnie Boyd that allows GNU make
to build for MINGW32 systems.  Only missing from this commit are the
changes to configure.in etc.; I'm waiting for Earnie to sign papers for
those new files.

Also not here is any README.mingw32 etc. which would explain how to use
this port.
