src/usr.bin/make: make.1
Log Message:
Emphasise the fact that the regexp and replacement in :C/// are
subjected to variable expansion before regexp parsing. This was already
documented if you read carefully enough, but more emphasis would have
helped me to figure out why I needed three or four backslashes where I
expected to need only two.
