New special variable: .RECIPEPREFIX

2007-11-04T21:54:00+00:00

Allows the user to reset the prefix character for introducing recipe lines
from the default (tab) to any other single character, and back again.
Also, reworked the manual to consistently use the word "recipe" to describe
the set of commands we use to update a target, instead of the various
phrases used in the past: "commands", "command lines", "command scripts",
etc.

Preserve the backslash that's printed by echo.

Some code cleanups and efficiency enhancements. As far as I can tell
