33    * New functions available in this release:
34       - $(lastword ...) returns the last word in the list.  This gives
35         identical results as $(word $(words ...) ...), but is much faster.
36       - $(abspath ...) returns the absolute path (all "." and ".."
37         directories resolved, and any duplicate "/" characters removed) for
38         each path provided.
39       - $(realpath ...) returns the canonical pathname for each path
40         provided.  The canonical pathname is the absolute pathname, with
41         all symbolic links resolved as well.

43    * Changes made for POSIX compatibility:
44       - Only touch targets (under -t) if they have at least one command.
45       - Setting the SHELL make variable does NOT change the value of the
46         SHELL environment variable given to programs invoked by make.  As
47         an enhancement to POSIX, if you export the make variable SHELL then
48         it will be set in the environment, just as before.
