The order of make variable precedence is command line over Makefile
over environment.

There needs to be some mechanism to configure both features and the
build environment. If we want to reserve make config for features
alone, let's have Rules.mak include .config.mak if it exists, and
allow the user to edit .config.mak and add CFLAGS, LDFLAGS, LDLIBS,
and whatever else tickles his or her fancy, there.
