Search the info pages for MAKECMDGOALS

Paul: the "6.4 How Variables Get Their Values" section in the info
pages needs to be updated, as MAKECMDGOALS doesn't fit in any of the
categories there.  Perhaps a category for all the internal variables
that control or are involved in make's internal operations
(MAKEFILE_LIST, MAKEFLAGS, MAKE_VERSION, MAKE_COMMAND, MAKEFILES,
MAKELEVEL, .FEATURES, .VARIABLES, .INCLUDE_DIRS, .DEFAULT_GOAL, etc)
should be listed on a page of their own linked from there?
