Can't you do this much more simply with the already-existing CURDIR
variable, or even $(shell pwd)?
I have had requests for a variable like this, but I don't see a need for
it for this particular situation.
The problem is, what exactly would the variable contain? Just the
"main" makefile? What about included makefiles? What about the
contents of MAKEFILES?
Etc.
