All true, but this situation trips people up quite frequently and not
everyone is comfortable with 'info'. I think it would be a good thing
if older manuals could be kept online, e.g. by adding a version level:

http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/3.81/make.html
http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/3.82/make.html

No, I'm not offering to do it and yes, the information is available
other ways. But it would be helpful.
