Fletcher> VPATH is a feature of GNU make [...]

VPATH in GNU make was taken from sysV make (per GNU doc).  The string
"VPATH" appears in the HP binary for make, however it doesn't seem to
be used.  I'm wondering if a special flag is needed or if the format
is different or some such.

Btw: VPATH is also in Sun releases.
