Right... but who or what sets the matching flag in the build ?

Is there a way to hunt down all consumers of RELEASE ?

Should I file a bug/RFE to get something like that added (e.g. "...any
variable added to an OS/Net Makefile which is visible/used by multiple
makefiles should be named using more than one word and have at least
four characters..." or something like that (that still misses things
like "namespaces" etc.)) ?

Uhm...right...
... but technically only the Makefiles are missing (and the
"javaexec"-like kernel module which recognizes compiled shell code) -
the "core" lives in libshell anyway (since ksh93 does the compiling
internally anyway) and shcomp.c is part of this putback...
