	* main.c: (main), variable.c Changed handling of ENV-vars. Make
	stores now the names of the variables only and reads their contents
	when they are accessed to reflect that these variables are really
	global (ie. they CAN change WHILE make runs !) This handling is
	made in lookup_variable()
	* variable.c: Handling of ENV variable happens inside lookup_variable()
