encourage $(MAKE) / ${MAKE}, not literal `make` commands #210

Unfortunately, Chocolatey Gnuwin make breaks when invoking the MAKE macro, due to problems resolving absolute (Cygwin) paths.

So make is, in some ways, safer and more portable in the extreme. Even though it risks dropping flags, and the POSIX standard does not encourage it.
