Details:

It is often useful to recursively call the current makefile as
part of a rule.  Sometimes rules are included from a different file.  The
included file may not know the name of the make file used to start the make
process.  Having a MAKEFILE variable would solve this.

File rules.mk:
---------------
foo:
       make -f $(MAKEFILE) bar

bar:
       echo hello
----------------

File GNUmakefile:
-----------------
include rules.mk

File Test.mk:
-----------------
include rules.mk
