Fix bug#1379: don't use alloca() where it could overrun the stack size.

Implemented enhancement #1391: allow "export" in target-specific
variable definitions.

Change the Info name of the "Automatic" node to "Automatic Variables".
Add text clarifying the scope of automatic variables to that section.

* commands.c (set_file_variables): Bug #1379: Don't use alloca()
for automatic variable values like $^, etc. In the case of very
large lists of prerequisites this causes problems. Instead reuse
a static buffer (resizeable) for each variable.
* read.c (eval): Fix Bug #1391: allow "export" keyword in
target-specific variable definitions. Check for it and set an
"exported" flag.
(record_target_var): Set the export field to v_export if the
"exported" flag is set.
* doc/make.texi (Target-specific): Document the ability to use
"export".
* doc/make.texi: Change the name of the section on automatic
variables from "Automatic" to "Automatic Variables". Added text
clarifying the scope of automatic variables.
2002-10-04 Paul D. Smith <psmith@gnu.org>
