As you noted in a previous mail, examine_variable was just an
alias for variable_defined, so when I removed the latter I also
removed the former.  Only later did I realize I really needed
this functionality, and I named it set_seen because it is the
Automake::Variable counterpart of Automake::VarDef::set_seen.

I'll change this back to examine_variable, that's indeed more
readable.  Perhaps I should also rename VarDef::set_seen and
VarDef::seen to VarDef::examine and VarDef::examined ?

(Can't work on this before next week, though.)
